¶1 1. It is not necessary that an indictment under a statute should be in the very words of the statute — as where the statute makes it indictable and punishable in the Penitentiary for one to shoot atanother with “any kind of firearms,” it is sufficient to charge that it was “ with a certain pistol, then and there, loaded with gunpowder and one leaden bullet,” because the Court can see that this is a “fire-arm.”
¶2 And so it was not necessary to charge that it was a “deadly weapon ” in the words of the statute; because the Court will take notice that a loaded pistol within carrying distance is a deadly weapon.
¶3 2. The statute, Acts 1868-’69, ch. 167, seo. 8, does not make the offence charged a felony, and therefore it was not necessary to charge that it was done with a felonious intent.
¶4 There is no error. This will be certified.
¶5 Per Curiam. Judgment affirmed.
