The Catholic Question in America: Whether a Roman Catholic Clergyman Be in Any Case Compellable to Disclose the Secrets of Auriecular Confession; Decided at the Court of General Sessions, in the City of New York (Classic Reprint)

At the outset I boldly affirm, without fear of contradiction, that the Attorney General can produce but two cases, in which the question has ever been raised in relation to a clergyman neither. Of which can be of authority in the United States, both hav ing been decided since our revolution.-i go farther - I say the cases would not be binding in Great Britain.
