Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. Cutting and stabbing with intent to murder, and wounding less than mayhem, while separate and distinct offences, may be cumulated in one presentment, provided each is charged in a separate count.</p> <p>2. Bill of information as here drawn held to set forth two counts, and that one of said offences was averred in each.</p> <p>3. Not necessary to conclude each count of a presentment with the formula “contrary to the form of the Statute, etc.” It suffices if-the indictment or information concludes with it. So concluding, the formula is held to apply tro each count of the bill.</p>
