STATE v. JEHU EVANS.
    Court of Quarter Sessions. Sussex.
    April, 1800.
    
      Wilson’s Red Book, 272.
    
    
      Attorney General.
    Defendant must show there is a prosecutor before he can be required to indorse.
    
      Vining
    
    pressed a different construction of the Act and the propriety generally of such a regulation.
   Per Curiam. Booth, C. J.

(To Mr. Ridgely:) Sir, you need not argue it. The Act of Assembly says the prosecutor not a prosecutor and does not require a prosecutor on every indictment. Defendant may prove there is a person prosecuting, and then he must indorse. We cannot presume it; the grand jury may have found the presentment on their own knowledge or have sent for witnesses.
