People v. Boyle, 116 Cal. 658

The Court.

The defendant was convicted of a felony, technically ‍​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‍designated in the information as an assault with intent to commit the infamous crime against nature. He appeals ‍​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‍from the judgment and order denying his motion for a new trial. The facts of the case do ‍​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‍not make out the offense of which the defendant has been convicted. It has been so held ‍​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‍in at least two cases. (See Prindle v. State, 31 Tex. Crim. Rep. 551; 37 Am. St. Rep. 833; 1 Wharton on Criminal ‍​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‍Law, sec. 575.)

Judgment and order reversed and cause remanded.
