Alabama Court of Appeals · decided 1912-02-08

Heard before Hon. James H. Ballentine. Will Bynum was convicted of failure to work tbe road and he appeals. No brief came to tbe Reporter. Tbe indictment was sufficient. — Brown v. The State, 63 Ala. 97.

Relies on Brown v. State

Affirmed · Decided 1912-02-08

WALKER, P. J.

¶1Tbe indictment in this case charged that tbe defendant, “a person liable to road duty, willfully failed or refused, after legal notice, to work the public road, either in person or by substitute, without a sufficient excuse therefor, against tbe peace,” etc. Tbe allegation of tbe commission of tbe offense substantially followed tbe terms of tbe statute creating it. Tbe indictment sufficiently designated tbe offense, without- specifying what road tbe defendant failed to work.—Brown v. State, 63 Ala. 97. Tbe demurrer to it was properly overruled.

¶2Tbe record presents no other question for review.

¶3Affirmed.
