The indictment and proceedings in the case were ■ certified to this court by the presiding judge, as presenting questions of novelty and doubt.

After a careful investigation of the record, we see nothing which requires our interference, and are of opinion that the judgment of the court below be in all things affirmed.

Affirmed.
