The record in this case shews that the indictment was found at a Superior Court held under due and legal authority ; and, as it is known that the Superior Courts are organised and act under a public law, this Court is bound judicially to recognise its power. A Court acting under limited and special powers, may require a caption specifying its authority, but not a Court sitting under the general law of the land. But \u201c Fall Term\u201d is certain enough, for we know the Fall begins the first of September, and that the circuit in which Columbus is located, also begins in September. The time of committing the offence is stated with sufficient precision; the present year refers to the year mentioned in the caption. The judgment must be entered up for the State.",
