Taylor, C. J.

We think it very clear that the defendant is liable to pay the witnesses for the whole time of attendance. The charge, of which he was convicted, was the same upon which the witnesses attended, and though the indictment was altered in point of form, yet neither the defendant nor the witnesses were discharged during the time; the latter were subpœnaed or recognized to give evidence against him on a specific charge ; they did so, and he was convicted.
