Opinion

Russell, J.

This being a ease in which the defendant was on trial for enticing away a child under the age of eighteen years, and the evidence of the defendant’s guilt being weak and unsatisfactory, it was reversible error for the court, in charging the jury, to refer to the person alleged to have been enticed as “this child under the age of eighteen years.” The age of the child was put in issue under the plea of not guilty.

Judgment reversed.
