Supreme Court of Virginia December 15, 1845 (Commonwealth v. Lodge)

Duncan, J.

delivered the opinion of the Court.

The defendant was indicted for perjury, in taking a false oath in an answer to a bill in chancery. The indictment only professes to set out so much of the bill as to which the alleged false oath applies, and so much only of the answer as embraced the matter containing the alleged false oath.
