    An alien cannot he a petit juror, because he cannot he a freeholder; but see the next case, Young v. Marine Ins. Co.
    
    In an indictment against one of several who made a joint assault, the acts of the others at the same time may be given in evidence.
    Indictment for assault and battery and resisting a collector of militia fines.
    A juror, called to be sworn, who was an alien, was rejécted by the Court. See New Rev. Code, 101, c. 73, § 12, 29th of November, 1792.
    
      Mr. Swann, for the defendant,
    objected to evidence of what was done by Glover in company with Johnston, at the time of the assault and battery.
