Opinion

majority opinion

By the Court,

Lumpkin, J.,

delivering the opinion.

This case is covered and controlled by the decision made at this Term in the case of the Mayor and Council of Columbus against John D. Arnold. The ground being, that a party summoned to answer for an offense committed against one ordinance, cannot be proceeded against and punished by another and a different ordinance. And upon the further ground, that the offense, itself, was not charged with sufficient distinctness.
