Thomas vs. The State of Georgia.
    1. Every indictment is sufficiently technical which states the offense in the language of the Code, or so plainly that the nature of the offense charged may be easily understood by the jury.
    2. Exceptions to the form of an indictment should be made before trial. Code, §4629; 56 Ga., 583 ; 32 Id., 672.
    3. Where an indictment charged that, on a day stated, the defendant committed an assault with intent to murder, using a pistol, loaded with powder and ball, being a weapon likely to produce death, on the trial an objection to all evidence'going to show a shooting, for want of an allegation thereof in the indictment, was properly overruled.
    October 3, 1882.
   Speer, Justice.
