Texas Supreme Court July 1, 1861 (State v. Hutchinson)

Wheeler, C. J.

There is no error in the judgment. The objection that the indictment does not charge that the defendant “did” the acts supposed to constitute the offence, was well taken. The omission of so important a word, a word indispensable to make sense, in charging the offence, ought not to be supplied by intendment.
