United States v. Thirteen Packages of Plate Glass

District Court, S.D. New York
United States v. Thirteen Packages of Plate Glass, 28 F. Cas. 48 (1854)
1854 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 27

United States v. Thirteen Packages of Plate Glass

Opinion of the Court

HELD

BY THE COURT

That counts of an information, when founded upon a statute like these, are sufficient when they set forth the words of the statute. That although some of the counts in these indictments, if considered alone, would no doubt be held bad, yet some of them are unquestionably sufficient, and, if one count was held sufficient, it comes to the same thing as if all were.

THE COURT will, for the purposes of this case, hold them all sufficient

Demurrers overruled.
