Indiana Supreme Court, 1862

Smith v. State

Smith v. State
Indiana Supreme Court · Decided November 15, 1862
19 Ind. 197
Smith v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The informations on which the foregoing causes are based, are all alike defective, because they fail to aver the facts which are necessary to give the Courts of Common Pleas jurisdiction to try them. The judgments and convictions therein must, therefore, be reversed, and the prisoners, respectively, returned to the counties whence they came, for further proceedings.
