NANCY CARPENTER.\nThe plea of \u201cnot guilty\u201d by a defendant charged with, an assault, makes it incumbent upon the State to prove everything necessary t\u00a9 establish his guilt: Hence, when on the trial below, the State failed to prove that the offence' had been committed within two years before the finding of the indictment, the defendant was entitled toa. new trial.\n. INDICTMENT for Assault and Battery, tried at Pall Term, 1875, of Gbaham Superior Court, his Honor Jjidge Gannon presiding.\nThe defendant pleaded \u201c not guilty,\u201d and her counsel asked the court to charge the jury that \u201c as the State did not show, or offer to show, that the offence was committed within two years before the finding of the indictment, the jury must acquit.\u201d\nThe court refused to charge as requested, and held that if the defendant relied on the statute of limitations, he must ahow it or give the State notice of such defence.\nThe jury returned a verdict of guilty and thereupon the defendant moved for a new trial. Motion overruled. Judgment and appeal.\nNo counsel for defendant in this court.\nAttorney General Ilargrove, for the State."
