Tennessee Supreme Court May 15, 1835 (Chappel v. State)

Catron Ch. J.

delivered the opinion of the court.

In the record before the court, a bill of indictment is found, endorsed c‘a true bill,” and this endorsement signed by the foreman of the grand jury; but no evidence or entry appeal’s of record, showing that the indictment was returned into court by the grand jury, and the question is, can the conviction be permitted to stand.
