Jackson v. State
Indiana Supreme Court
Jackson v. State, 4 Ind. 560 (Ind. 1853)
1853 Ind. LEXIS 205
Roache
Jackson v. State
Opinion of the Court
Information charging the defendant with, having lost, upon a game at cards, the sum of 25 cents to one John Bigler.
On the trial Jackson offered to prove, by one of the state’s witnesses, that the betting was a joint one by him
This was erroneous. A charge that Jackson alone lost, &c., was not supported by proof that Jackson, with another, jointly lost, &c. A judgment would be no bar to another prosecution against them jointly for the same act.
The judgment is reversed. Cause remanded, &c.
