Opinions

Mr. Justice Gantt

delivered the opinion of the court:

By the act of 1812, all penalties and forfeitures are to be prosecuted for within six months, and not after.

I am therefore of opinion that the statute should have shielded the defendant from a prosecution after that period had elapsed. A new trial is therefore granted.-

Justices Colcock and Nott, concurred.
