Harrison v. State
Indiana Supreme Court · Decided December 11, 1861
17 Ind. 422; 1861 Ind. LEXIS 462

Harrison v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

This was a prosecution for larceny. Trial, and conviction. There was no other basis for the proceeding £ban informati0n filed by the district attorney. That does not show the steps by which the Court obtained jurisdiction; whether the defendant was in custody or not. The motion in arrest should have been sustained. Justice v. The State, ante, p. 56.

The judgment is reversed, with directions to the cleric to notify the keeper of the state prison thereof.
