“... selve Retsforfølgelsen anvendes som et Middel til at undgaae Retsforfølgelse, derved nemlig at der af og til reises Tiltale mod Forbryderen af den, som i Virkeligheden spiller under Dække med ham, og hvem det da ved en begribeligvis kraftesløs og uloyal Saggivelse kan lykkes at hidføre en Frifindelse, som formedelst den engelske Rets strenge Hævdelse af Sætningen "non bis in idem“, i Reglen sikkrer Vedkommende en ufortjent Strafløshed”
... the legal prosecution itself it used as a means to avoid prosecution, namely, by the method that sometimes charges are brought against the criminal by the one who is, in fact, working together with him, and who then, through an, of course, impotent and illoyal prosecution, succeeds in getting an acquittal, which, because of the English court's strict application of the principle "non bis in idem", usually secures the person in question an undeserved impunity
