Before:
Ryland
Ryland, Judge.

1. Thé main questions in this case have substantially been passed upon ‍​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‍by this court, in the case of Jennings v. State, 9 Mo. Rep. 852. This court will not disturb the decision in that case, and it ‍​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‍must govern this.

2. The point about the time is not well taken. It is not important, as to what day is alleged or what ‍​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‍day is proved, so that the time in the indictment is within the period prescribed for limiting the prosecution, and the proof ‍​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‍is of a day before the finding of the bill of indictment by the grand jury, and ’ within the period prescribed ‍​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‍for limitation.

The judgment must be affirmed,

Judge Scott concurring: Judge Gamble not sitting.
