Syllabus

<p>Savindling—Indictment.—See the opinion in extenso for an indictment held insufficient to support a conviction for SAvindling, because it is too uncertain to charge the intent to swindle the alleged injured person out of the value of an organ, if it was the purpose of the indictment to so charge; and because, if it was the purpose of the indictment to charge the intent to be to swindle her out of a chance in the raffle for the organ, it is an assignment upon a right which can not be enforced by law, and which therefore will not support an assignment for swindling. See the . opinion on the whole question.</p>
