Supreme Court of Georgia March 15, 1860 (Prince v. State)

By the Court.

Stephens, J.,

delivering the opinion.

We think that the facts in this case do not constitute a riot. A riot, according to the definition in our Code, is where “ any two or more persons, either with or without a common cause of quarrel, do an unlawful act of violence, or any other act in a violent and tumultuous manner.
