Supreme Court of Alabama
Decided January 15, 1875PublishedCited by 1 opinion
Appeal from Circuit Court of Talladega. Tried before Hon. W. H. Smith. The only point decided is sufficiently stated in the opinion. cited Johnson v. The State, 47 Ala. 15. cited Crist v. State, 27 Ala. 137 ; McNeil v. State, 47 Ala. 498.
1Opinion of the CourtJudge, J.
The only ground of error insisted upon in this case is, that the jury were not properly and legally sworn. The record of the cause shows that they were “ sworn and charged well and truly to try the issue joined.” In McGuire v. The State, 37 Ala. 161, this precise form of oath was held to be sufficient under our statute. See, also, McNeil v. The State, 47 Ala. 498.
We can find, no error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.
