[No. 10,704.
    In Bank.]
    June 30, 1882.
    THE PEOPLE v. FREDRICK E. GIESEA.
    Information—Bigamy—Place of Marriage.—It is not necessary that an information for bigamy should state at what place the defendant was first married.
    Appeal from a judgment for the defendant on demurrer in the Superior Court of the County of Kern. Brundage, J.
    
      A. L. Hart, Attorney General, for Appellant.
    No brief on file for Respondent.
   The Court :

Information for bigamy. The Court sustained the demurrer to the information on the ground that it does not state at what place the defendant was first married. But in this respect the District Attorney appears to have followed the precedents given by Archbold and Wharton, and we do not think that the code requires anything more.

Judgment reversed and cause remanded, with directions to the Court below to overrule the demurrer, with leave to the defendant to plead to the information.
