State v. Billingsley

Opinion of the Court

Roberts, Chief Justice.

The indictment in this case for an affray, though not in the usual form according to the precedents at common law, is strictly conformable to the definition of that offense in our Penal Code, and therefore no reason is perceived why it is not a good indictment. (Paschal’s Dig., art. 2011; 2 Whart. Prec., 847.)

Reversed and remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
