Abstract
The rule of strict construction of criminal statutes is fortified and established by innumerable cases of both recent and early vintage. Chief Justice Marshall, in the leading American case of United States v. Wiltberger, said, "The rule that penal laws are to be construed strictly, is perhaps not much less old than construction itself."
