United States v. Porte

(nem. con.) was of opinion that the supplementary act of. April, 1792 (chapter 1), making it felony to steal the notes of the Bank of Baltimore, makes the original act of incorporation (Act 1790, c. 5) a public statute.

Verdict, guilty. But, upon motion, THE COURT arrested the judgment, because the indictment did not state of what particular bank the stolen notes were, nor whether the bank was incorporated by the United States, or by a particular state.
