Syllabus

<p>A temporary suspension of the trial of a criminal case, to dispose of a motion in another cause, is not an error or even an irregularity, where the prisoner’s rights do not appear to have been injuriously affected.</p> <p>Where the evidence is not set out in a bill of exceptions, or other authentic form, the appellate Court will not enquire into the correctness of instructions given by the Court below, considered as abstract questions of law.</p> <p>An indictment, charging the commission of an offence at a certain city and county, which are within the jurisdiction of the Court, lays the venue sufficiently.</p> <p>Where the commission of an offence is charged to have been on a particular day which * was anterior to the finding of the indictment, there is no necessity for the averment that the offence was committed before the finding of the indictment.</p>
