Syllabus

<p>1. Section 3476 of the General Statutes of Florida prescribing punishment for the crime of bribery does not in the definition of the crime denounced include all the essential elements of such crime.</p> <p>2. An information charging one with an offense under the provisions of Section 3476 of the General Statutes of Florida is fatally defective which charges that the offense was committed by offering to a juror a gift of money, and fails to allege knowledge on the part of the accused of the official character or capacity of the person to whom the bribe was offered and that the thing offered was of value.</p>
