An indictment for conspiracy to commit a crime should describe that crime although it is necessary to set out facts which constitute the separate crime. (U. S. C. C. S. D. Ga.) 317. Parties indicted for felony in a federal court are restricted to twenty peremptory challenges, and all indicted for a joint felony are deemed a single party for that purpose. Id.

The concurrence of nine grand jurors cannot be made sufficient for an indictment under the North Carolina Constitution. (N. C.) 50.

A copy of an information can be allowed to be filed when the original is lost. (Ill.) 48. Arraignment and plea after a trial for felony has begun will not be sufficient to make the trial valid. (II.) 91.

It is the duty of a trial judge in a court of the United States to sum up the evidence for the assistance of the jury. (U. S. C. C. S. D. Ga.) 317.

Evidence.

The sufficiency of one witness corroborated by circumstances to prove perjury is not affected by a Statute saying that the "direct evidence of one witness who is entitled to full credit is sufficient for proof of any fact except perjury and treason." (Mont.) 749.

10 L. R. A.

The amount of evidence necessary to convict of perjury must be more than sufficient to counterbalance the oath of the prisoner, and the legal presumption of his innocence to a a single credible witness strongly corroborated is sufficient. (U. S. C. C. S. Ď. Ga.) 324.

False testimony of a witness on a former trial under duress of bodily harm will not necessarily destroy his testimony. Id.

A variance between indictment and proof as to ownership of stolen property, if not prejudicial, will not be fatal under Missouri Statutes. (Mo.) 39.

A witness who has testified to facts tending to show that another is guilty of murder may be discredited by evidence that he was silent, although knowing the facts, when third parties were accused of the crime. (N. C.) 527.

An accomplice is not incompetent as a witness, but the jury are not obliged to believe him. (U. S. C. C. S. D. Ga.) 317.

Appeal.

The right to appeal from one court to another can exist only by virtue of a statute, and appellate jurisdiction given by a State Constitution extends only to such cases as the Legislature shall designate. (Mich.) 263.
