20 Ind. 513

Parks v. State

Indiana Supreme Court

Decided May 15, 1863

Indiana Supreme Court · decided 1863-05-15

<p>Criminal Law and Practice. — Where the record on appeal to this Court, in a criminal case, shows that two indictments were duly returned against the defendant, it should also identify the particular indictment upon which the defendant was tried as one of them.</p>

Decided 1863-05-15

Per Curiam.

¶1In this case, the record, although it shows the return of two indictments into Court by a grand jury, yet it does not identify the indictment upon which this defendant was tried as one of those so returned.

¶2The judgment is reversed; and the clerk is ordered to notify the proper officer thereof; and that it is a case where, under the statute, the defendant will have to be discharged.
