• 17 Ala. 181

Syllabus

<p>1. When a statute, creating an offence, describes its ingredients, an indictment under it must conform to the description thus given.</p> <p>2. An indictment under the 98th section of the Revenue Act of 1848, for keeping a ten-pin alley without a license, should aver that the defendant “ was engaged in the business or employment of keeping” such an establishment. The simple averment that he “ did keep” one is insufficient.</p>
