Supreme Court of Vermont January 15, 1859 (State v. Brown)

Aidis, J.

The Compiled Statutes, chap. 35, § 16, provides that where twelve of the grand jury shall find a bill, the foreman shall write thereon “ a true bill.” In this case the foreman wrote “ a true bill, Ira Allen,” but omitted the word “foreman.”

We do not think the word foreman is required to be added to the signature of that officer’s name.
