The State vs. Harrison.
    To refuse to conform to the mandate of this Court, when a ease is reversed and remanded to the Circuit Court, is a gross error.
    
      Appeal from Washington Circuit Court.
    
    Hon. John M. Wilson, Circuit Judge.
    Mr. Attorney General Hollowell, for the State.
   Mr. Justice Compton

delivered the opinion of the court.

This case was before this Court at January term, 1858, when it was decided that the court below erred in sustaining the motion to quash the indictment. See 19 Ark. 565.

The judgment was reversed and the cause remanded; and it appears, from the transcript now before us, that the court refused to overrule the motion to quash, notwithstanding the decision and mandate of this court. This was a 'gross error, for which the judgment must be reversed.
