Supreme Court of Arkansas November 15, 1884 (State v. Waller)

Eakin, J.

Waller was indicted by the grand jury for slander, under the act of March 19th, 1869. They charge him with the use of certain opprobrious words, regarding a married woman, which in their common acceptation convey an imputation of adultery. A demurrer to the indictment was sustained by the court, upon the express grounds, that the law was unconstitutional and void.
