<p>Ye Cow is indicted for larceny; Ah Cow is arraigned, and pleads not guilty; By Chow demands a separate trial, and is tried; the verdict and judgment are against Ah Cow; By Chow moves for a new trial and appeals : Held, that By Chow who appeals is sufficiently identified with the proceedings, by being named as the party who was tried, to maintain the appeal.</p> <p>Held, farther, that the judgment must be reversed; that if the defendant should again be indicted for the same offense, it might be difficult for him to establish a previous conviction—the record wanting certainty.</p>
