State v. Dawson

Per Curiam.

There ought to be a new trial in this case, as there is no knowledge of this fact brought, home to the defendant, nor any general directions proved against him ; and although the prosecution might be maintained against the clerk who received the corn, yet there is no proof to charge the defendant, as was very properly laid down by the presiding judge on the trial.

Rule for new trial made absolute.

All the Judges present.
