Jackson v. State
Mississippi Supreme Court
Jackson v. State, 55 Miss. 530 (Miss. 1878)
Campbell
Jackson v. State
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
No objection was made in the Circuit Court to proceeding with the trial, because a small number of tho'se for whom the special venire was issued had been summoned, and no notice can be taken of it here.
There is no error in the rulings of the Circuit Court upon the evidence offered, nor in the instructions, nor in overruling the motion for a new trial.
The fact that the entries required by law to be made on an indictment were not made by the hand of the clerk, but by another, in his presence and by his direction, made no difference. Gamble v. Trahen, 3 How. 32.
Judgment affirmed.

- 1. Criminal Law. Practice. Objections to venire. It is too late, after conviction, for the defendant in a capital case to object that only a few of the special venire were summoned or attended the court. 2. Sam®. Indictment. Indorsements thereon. The indorsements required by law to be made on an indictment may be made by a person who is neither the clerk of the court nor a deputy, if under the directions and in the presence of the clerk.
