Rici-iardsoN, Judge,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The indictment not only charged the defendant generally in the words of the statute with being “ guilty of an open and notorious act of public indecency, grossly scandalous,” but specified with sufficient certainty the act that constituted the offence.

The indictment was sufficient, and the judgment will be affirmed;

Judge Scott concurring. Judge Napton absent.
