Indiana Supreme Court, 1861

Kreigh v. State

Kreigh v. State
Indiana Supreme Court · Decided December 13, 1861
17 Ind. 495; 1861 Ind. LEXIS 497

Kreigh v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Information against the defendant, the appellant here, for a rape. Trial; conviction and judgment.

The information is radically defective, in not showing that the Court below had jurisdiction of the offense.

It alleges that the defendant was in custody, but does not show that he was in custody on a charge of the felony for which the information was filed, nor does it negative the finding of an indictment against him. The case is settled by-that of Justice v. The State, ante, p. 56.

The judgment is reversed, and the cause- remanded. The clerk will give the proper notice for the return of the prisoner to Lagrange county.
