Opinion

Bingham, J.

If the defendant had submitted to the judgment of the court on his plea to the first indictment, his plea to the second might have been good. Commonwealth v. Loud, 3 Met. 328; Commonwealth v. Keith, 8 Met. 581.

He did not submit, but moved in arrest of judgment for insufficiences in the indictment, and judgment was arrested. This brings the case within the rule, that when the first indictment is so far erroneous that no good judgment can be ordered against the defendant, and none is ordered, the proceeding is no bar, because in apprehension of law the defendant was never in danger. 4 Hawk. P. C. 317, 330; Marston v. Jenness, 11 N. H. 156, 161; Com. Digest, “Indictment” L.; 1 Chit. Cr. Law 453, 462; People v. Barrett, 1 Johns. 66; Arch. Cr. Pl. 82, 86; 1 Bouv. Dic. 174.

Case discharged.

Foster, J., did not sit: the others concurred.
