UNITED STATES
v.
JAMES H. BRITTON AND BARTON BATES.
Argued October 1882, Decided April 1883.
In case No. 410, (UNITED STATES v. JAMES H. BRITTON and
BARTON BATES,) on certificate of division in opinion from the same
court, the indictment contained five counts, all substantially
similar to the counts in case 409, [ante, 531,] just disposed of.
What we have said in reference to the indictment in case 409
applies to the indictment in this case. As the indictment is bad,
and no good indictment can be framed upon the facts as they appear
therein, it is unnecessary and we decline to answer the specific
questions submitted to us by the judges of the circuit court. U.
