TO have been committed al the parish OF st.

with sufficient certainty that the crime was
committed in the parish Of st. Landry. 1T
does not, therefore, appear positively that the
court had Jurisdiction. Tho court could not
have jurisdiction unless the crime was com .,
mitted iii the parish Of st. Landry, and this
must appear with certainty IN the indict'
