PECK O. J.

— The omission of the word “ county,” as it appears in ‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‍the body of this indictment, was, manifestly, a mere clerical misprision; but as the name of the county in which the indictment was found is stated in ‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‍the caption, the omission was no cause of demurrer. Rev. Code, § 4111.

2. An indictment under section 3733 (R. C.) for unlawfully and maliciously disabling or injuring an ‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‍animal, the property of another, need not state the value of the animal. The said section does not require it, nor does it make the pun- ‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‍■ ishment in any manner to depend upon the value of the animal injured; if it did, then it would be necessary to state the value in ‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‍the indictment. The State v. Goree, 8 Porter, 447.

Let the judgment be affirmed, at the appellant’s cost.
