State v. Murphy, 9 Port. 487 (Ala. 1839).
Opinion
The objections to the indictment cannot be sustained. The venire to the grand jury, as well as the names of the grand jurors, constitute a part of the caption, and need not be introduced in the indictment. In the case referred to, of The People vs. Gunnsey, (3 Johnson’s Cases,) the objection was to the caption, not to the body of the indictment.
The judgment is affirmed.
