    United States v. Gillis et al.
    
    Judges of elections are not liable to criminal prosecution, unless tbey have acted from a corrupt motive.
    
      Mr. Jones, Attorney for the United States,
    observed that it had been intimated by the Court that these prosecutions could not be supported unless a corrupt motive were charged and proved; and that if such was the opinion of the Court, as he could not prove such a motive, he would enter a nolle prosequi.
    
   The Court

(nem. con.) said that such was their opinion. Nolle prosequi entered.
