H- Hunn.\n\u201cJefferson County Circuit Court,!\nSpring Term, A. D. 1879. J\n\u201cThe grand jury of Gaming county, in the name and by the authority of the state of Arkansas, accuse H. H. Hunn of the crime of gaming, committed as follows, to-wit: The said PI. H. Hunn, in the county and state aforesaid, on, etc., did, then and there, unlawfully bet ten cents in money on a check, or chip, of 'the estimated, or representative, value of ten cents in money, on a certain unlawful game at cards then and there being played with cards, as aforesaid, which said game so played, as aforesaid, is commonly called whist, contrary to the statute,\u201d etc., etc.\nThe defendant demurred to the indictment, on the ground that the offense cb ai\u2019ged was a misdemeanor, and not within the jurisdiction of the court.\nThe court overruled the demurrer.\nAfterwards, on another day of the same term, by leave of the court, the defendant entered a demurrer in short to the indictment, which the coui\u2019t sustained, and discharged the defendant, and the state appealed.\nIf the court, in sustaining the second demurrer to the indictment, meant to reverse its judgment in overruling the first demurrer, and to hold that it had no jurisdiction of the offense, it was an error. State v. Devers, ante.\nThe word \u201cGaming\u201d in place of Jefferson, preceding the word \u201ccounty,\u201d in the commencement of the indictment, is so plainly a clerical misprision in drafting the indictment, that we can hardly think his honor, the circuit judge, held the indictment bad on that account.\nThe name of the county \u2014 Jefferson\u2014in the caption, and the reference to it in the body of the indictment, in laying the venue, was sufficient. Thetstone v. State, 32 Ark., 179.\nReversed and remanded for further proceedings.",
