Syllabus
<p>INDICTMENT — MOTION TO QUASH — MISTAKE.</p> <p>_ 1. It appears that through the merest oversight a bill of indictment found its way into court which was null. This oversight was committed in the grand jury room.</p> <p>2. Because of the oversight, which may happen to the most careful officer, foreman of a jury, or grand jury itself, it was not the bill of indictment intended. The indictment was consequently null.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
