16 Ind. 338

State v. Huey

Indiana Supreme Court

Decided June 8, 1861

Indiana Supreme Court · decided 1861-06-08

<p>There is no such offense under our criminal code as public indecency.</p>

Decided 1861-06-08

Per Curiam.

¶1This was a prosecution against the appellees for “public indecency.”

¶2On the trial the defendants were acquitted, but the State brings up the case upon points of law reserved during the progress of the trial. We have decided that there is no such offense as public indecency. Jennings v. The State, ante, p. 335. It follows that the record presents no legitimate question for our decision.

¶3The appeal is dismissed.
