Commonwealth v. Burlington
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided January 31, 1884 · Field
136 Mass. 435; 1884 Mass. LEXIS 132

Commonwealth v. Burlington

Opinion of the Court

Field, J.

The motion to quash was rightly overruled. The complaint followed the words of the statute, and set forth with certainty all the elements necessary to constitute the offence. Commonwealth v. Barrett, 108 Mass. 302. Commonwealth v. Tiffany, 119 Mass. 300. Commonwealth v. Malloy, 119 Mass. 347. The evidence objected to was rightly admitted. It tended to show that the defendant intentionally neglected to support his daughter.

Exceptions overruled.
