Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, 1872

Commonwealth v. Gleason

Commonwealth v. Gleason
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided September 15, 1872 · Chapman
110 Mass. 66
Commonwealth v. Gleason

Opinion of the Court

Chapman, C. J.

The indictment is signed by the foreman of the grand jury as follows: “A. Burbank, foreman.” If we assume that the signature contains only the initial letter of his Christian name, it is sufficient; and though the motion to quash states the objection made to the indictment in various ways, nothing more appears to have been intended by it.

Exceptions overruled.
