2. This is a good plea in bar, where a second trial would be quite
superfluous. Co. Litt. 390 b, note 2; 4 Bl. Com. 336. Where, therefore, any
advantage either to public justice, or private individuals, would arise from
a second prosecution, the plea will not prevent it; as where the criminal is
indicted for treason after an attainder of felony, in which case the
punishment will be more severe and more extensive. 3 Chit. Cr. Law, 464.
