D. 1853, with force and arms, in the county of Lawrence aforesaid, in and upon each other, in the peace of God in said State, then aad there being, unlawfully did make an assault, and each other then and there did beat,, wound and ill-treat, and other wrongs to each other then and there did, to the great damage of each other, contrary to the form of the statute,\u201d etc.\nLonon filed a motion to quash the indictment for misjoinder, which the Court sustained, and the State appealed.\nTwo persons may commit an assault and battery, each upon the other, at the same .time, as for example, when they mutually fight by agreement in a private place, but each would be guilty of a distinct and several offence. But the offences being misdemeanors, and of the same nature, the offenders may, it seems, be joined in the same indictment, if severally charged. But it is not proper to do so, because the Court has the discretion to quash the indictment, as it did in this case. State vs. Nailet ah, present term.\nThe judgment is affirmed.",
