United States v. Burch.
    The time laid in the indictment for keeping a disorderly house is not material.
    A conviction is a bar to prosecution for all the time previous to the conviction.
    Indictment for keeping a disorderly house.
   The Court

was of opinion that the-time is not material if before the indictment found. The keeping of a disorderly house is a single offence, and one conviction is a bar to a prosecution for keeping a disorderly house at any time prior to the finding of the indictment.
