1Opinion of the CourtHart, J.
This appeal is prosecuted by the State to reverse a judgment sustaining a demurrer to an indictment for arson against Dr. H. M. Blumenthal. There was an agreement between counsel for the State and for the defendant that it was the intention in the indictment to charge the defendant with wilfully and maliciously and feloniously setting fire to and burning a dwelling house belonging to Mrs. Sallie A. Hancock while he was in possession of it and occupied as her tenant. It appears from the record that the court below sustained the demurrer upon the agreed statement of facts.
