State v. Stewart
Texas Supreme Court
State v. Stewart, 35 Tex. 499 (Tex. 1872)
Walker
State v. Stewart
Opinion of the Court
The objections made to the indictment in this case would lie rather against the Legislature than the pleader.
The indictment is drawn in close conformity to Articles 409 and 410 of the Penal Code. (Paschal’s Digest, 2044, 2045.)
The judgment of the district court in quashing the indictment was erroneous. It is therefore reversed, and the cause remanded.
Reversed and remanded.
