Opinion

By the Court.

The indictment does not pursue the precedents and is not sufficiently certain, in describing the tract of land. There should be at least as much certainty in a criminal prosecution, as in an ejectment. A conviction on such an indictment may operate to great injustice ; and however reluctant we may be, we are constrained to determine, that the judgment must be reversed, and re-restitution awarded.
