Court of Appeals of Texas

Decided July 1, 1878Published

Appeal from the District Court of Dallas. Tried below before the Hon. Z. Hunt. The opinion discloses all material facts.

1Opinion of the CourtWhite, J.

Appellant and two others were'jointly indicted, under article 2093, Paschal’s Digest, for forgery. McDuff, this appellant, was alone tried, and was convicted, and his punishment assessed at seven years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary. A motion was made to quash the indictment, which, we think, was properly overruled, the indictment being sufficient when tested by the rules and precedents heretofore established by the courts of our state with reference to this offense. Henderson v. The State, 14 Texas, 503; Shanks v. The State, 25 Texas (Supp.), 326; Horton v. The State, 32 Texas, 79.
