The indictment was returned by the grand jury after the recorder\u2019s court of Nash County was established, under the act of 1909 (chapter 633), and the case is therefore precisely like the one of State v. Collins, decided at this term. The court, upon motion of the defendant, quashed the bill, and the State appealed. In thus disposing of the case, there was no error, as the' Superior Court had no jurisdiction of the offense alleged in the indictment, which is below the grade of a felony.\nAffirmed.",
