117 Ala. 213 | Ala. | 1897
The defendant was indicted for gaming. When the.cause came on to be heard, he moved the court to quash the indictment, upon several grounds ; all, however, wei*e based upon the illegality of the grand jury. The same point was raised by plea in abatement to the indictment.
The objections, those presented by the motion to quash, which was overruled, and those raised by the plea in abatement, to which a demurrer was sustained, all, were directed to the indictment itself. Under the uniform decisions of this court, the trial court did not err in its rulings. See authorities collected in case of Linchan v. State, 113 Ala. 70. No objection was raised" to the venire for the trial of defendant, as was done in the case of Wells v. The State, 94 Ala. 1; Steele v. The State, 111 Ala. 32, and Linehan's case supra.
We are of opinion the other assignments or error are not of sufficient merit to require comment.
