People v. Kalloch

California Supreme Court March 1, 1882

People v. Kalloch, 60 Cal. 113 (Cal. 1882)

1882 Cal. LEXIS 411

Opinion of the Court

The Court:

This Court has jurisdiction of the appeal. (Const., Art. vi, § 4; C. C. P., § 52.)

The indictment is fatally defective in at least two particulars: 1. It does not charge that the act complained of was done by the defendants as a “Board;” and, 2. It does not give the name of the party with whom the contract was made.

We think the demurrer was properly sustained, and the judgment is affirmed.
