Held: an assault did make, with intent, him, the said Emily Bishop, feloniously, willfully, and of his malice aforethought to murder, against the peace and dignity of the State of Arkansas;” with the proper conclusion.

Decided 1844-07-15

¶1By the court,

Sebastian J.

¶2The judgment in this case must be affirmed. There is no exception taken to the refusal to grant a new trial, and of course it cannot be noticed. The motion to arrest the judgment was properly overruled. The indictment charges the offence with accuracy and precision. It alleges that the defendant feloniously, wilfully, and of his malice aforethought, made an assault with intent to kill one Emily Bishop. This charge is every way sufficient, and pursues the statute and substantially complies with its requisites. Judgment affirmed.
