The Court

(nem. con.) was of opinion that the supplementary [370]*370act of April, 1792, c. 1, making it felony to steal the notes of the Bank of Baltimore, makes the original act of incorporation (1790, c. 5,) a public statute. '

Verdict, guilty. But, upon motion,

The Court arrested the judgment, because the indictment did hot state of what particular bank the stolen notes were, nor whether the bank was incorporated by the United States, or by a particular State.
