Supreme Court of Iowa April 14, 1860 (State v. Ballenger)

Lowe, C. J.

The record of the proceedings in the court below has been carefully reviewed and no errors are discovered. Some fifteen have been assigned, but we do not feel that it is necessary to allude to more than two or three of them.

I. The defendant complains that there was a trial without an issue; that at least he did not plead in the manner prescribed by law.
