jeopardy. peril, danger. 2. this is the meaning attached to this word used 
in the act establishing and regulating the post office department. the words 
of the act are, "or if, in effecting such robbery of the mail the first 
time, the offender shall wound the person having the custody thereof, or put 
his life in jeopardy by the use of dangerous weapons, such offender shall 
suffer death." 3 story's l. u. s. 1992. vide baldw. r. 93-95. 
     3. the constitution declares that no person shall "for the same 
offence, be twice put in jeopardy of life and limb." the meaning of this is, 
that the party shall, not be tried a second time for the same offence after 
he has once been convicted or acquitted of the offence charged, by the 
verdict of a jury, and judgment has passed thereon for or against him; but 
it does not mean that he shall not be tried for the offence, if the jury 
have been discharged from necessity or by consent, without giving any 
verdict; or, if having given a verdict, judgment has been arrested upon it, 
or a new trial has been granted in his favor; for, in such a case, his life 
and limb cannot judicially be said to have been put in jeopardy. 4 wash. c. 
c. r. 410; 9 wheat. r. 579; 6 serg.  rawle, 577; 3. rawle, r. 498; 3 story

upon the common law. vide merl. rep. art. non bis in idem. qui de crimine 
publico accusationem deductus est, says the code, 9, 2, 9, ab alio super 
eodem crimine deferri non potest. vide article non bis in idem.
