State v. . Caudle and Others

Battle, J. The only ground upon which the motion in arrest of the judgment in this case is based, is expressly removed by the Act, Rev. Code, c. 35, s. 20. Among the omissions in an indictment, which by force of that section cannot be made available in arrest of judgment after a verdict, is that of not stating “ the time at which - the offense was committed, in any case where time is not of the essence *31 of tbe offense.” It cannot be insisted that time is of the essence of the offense of Forcible Trespass. There is no error, and it must be certified as the law directs. Peb CuRiAM. No error.
