Smith v. State
121 Miss. 37; 83 So. 337
Smith v. State
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court. The appellant was convicted for a violation of section 1054, Code of 1906 (section 782, Hemingway’s Code); hut the indictment on which he was tried is fatally defective, for the reason that it fails to charge that the mark altered by him was “ intended to designate ownership.” Consequently the demurrer thereto should have been sustained.
Reversed and remanded.
