The ‍​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‍defendant was indicted and convicted of the crime of perjury. A motion in arrest of judgment, because the indictment failed ‍​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‍to charge that it was committed “feloniously,” was overruled, and the defendant appealed. This question has been so often decided that ‍​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‍it requires no further discussion. S. v. Purdie, 67 N.C. 25; S. v. Skidmore, 109 N.C. 795; S. v. Bryan, 112 N.C. ‍​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‍848; S. v.
