Supreme Court of Alabama June 15, 1844 (State v. Hinton)

ORMOND, J.

The objection taken to the first count of the indictment is, that it should have been alleged that one of the offending parties at least, was married. We do not think it was necessary. The crime of adultery consists in the illicit commerce of two persons of different sexes, one of whom at least, is married, and includes the crime of fornication.
