Per tot. cur.

The judgment must be arrested.- The offence is-not charged with sufficient certainty. The words, “ or such other person,” &c., ought not have been omitted. For any thing that appears on the face of the indictment, the party might be innocent of any offence against the act, and yet be guilty of the offencecharged in the indictment. Judgment arrested.-
