In the case Of the State VS.. 7. y.
Mortimer, charged with unlawfully
obtaining money from the school
fund of Tippah county by reason of
making false report Of attendance
upon said school, the demurrer to the
Indictment, interposed by the de-
fendant, was sustained last week at
Ripley by Judge Lowrey. 1t is
thought to be unlikely that another
Indictment will be returned because
of the fact that there is no statute
in the State covering false school re-
