Syllabus

<p>Under Section 3208 of tbe General Statutes it- is imperatively necessary that tbe jury, when they find the, defendant guilty under an indictment for murder, shall ascertain and declare by tbeir verdict the degree of unlawful homicide of which they find him guilty. In such a case a verdict that simply says: “We, the jury, find the defendant guilty,” or, “guilty, as charged in the indictment,” is a nullity, and no judgment or sentence can legally be pronounced thereon.</p>
