State v. Bunting

Supreme Court of North Carolina

Decided February 15, 1896PublishedCited by 1 opinion

INDICTMENT for perjury, tried before Graham, J., at October Term, 1895, of Sampson Superior Court.

1Opinion of the Court

Faircloth, C. J.:

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. State v. Purdie, 67 N. C., 25; State v. Skidmore, 109 N. C., 795; State v. Bryan, 112 N. C., 848; State v. Caldwell, Ibid., 854; State v. Wilson, 116 N. C., 979; State v. Snow, 117 N. C., 774.

Reversed.
