People v. Williams
59 Cal. 397
Opinion
We have examined the information in this case, and consider it good. The acts constituting the offense are stated in ordinary and concise language, and in such manner as to enable a person of common understanding to know what is intended. (Penal Code, § 950.) Every person of ordinary intelligence understands what the crime against nature with a human being is.
We find no error in the instruction to which our attention is called, and the judgment and order are affirmed.
Sharpstein, J., and Morrison, C. J., concurred.
