   Walker, J.

The indictment in this case is well drawn, and contains every necessary averment. (See the State v. Croft, 15 Texas, 576, and the State v. Buie, decided at the present term.)

The judgment of the District Court in quashing the indictment was erroneous, and is therefore reversed and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
