Commonwealth v. Meckling
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Commonwealth v. Meckling, 2 Watts 130 (Pa. 1833)
Commonwealth v. Meckling
Opinion of the Court
The docket of the justice was competent evidence if duly authenticated. The receipt of the jailor was properly excluded for the variance as the declaration stood; but the description of it ought to have been amended. The case was within not only the true intent of the act of assembly, but the express provision; and the denial of the amendment was error.
Judgment reversed, and a venire ele novo awarded.
