    Decided May 5, 1897.
    Indictment for adultery. Before Judge Reese. Glascock superior court. February term, 1897.
    
      E. P. Davis and B. F. Walker, for plaintiff in error.
    
      B. H. Lewis, solicitor-general, contra.
   Atkinson, J.

An indictment which charges the commission of an offense in a certain year, without naming either the day or month upon which it was committed, is defective, and upon special demurrer thereto before arraignment, should be quashed.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concurring.
