1Opinion of the Court

Christiancy J.

The information was against Grimm, the plaintiff in error, John Clark, and three others, charging all jointly with the *305crime of burglary. Grimm and Clark were arraigned upon the information, and pleaded not guilty. Grimm was tried separately, and upon his trial called Clark, his co-defendant, who had not yet been tried, (and who therefore remained subject to trial upon the same information,) and offered to have him sworn as a witness in his behalf. This request was refused by the Court, and exception taken; and upon this arises the main question in the cause.
