Head Matter:
The State v. Nolan.
Courts of Common Pleas have not jurisdiction, under the R. S. 1852, over oifences committed before the act establishing said courts took effect.
APPEAL from the Tippecanoe Court of Common Pleas.
Monday, December 12.
L. Reilly, for the state.
J. O'Brian and R. W. Sill, for the appellee.

Opinion:
Stuart, J.
It appears that the assault and battery complained of was committed two months prior to the taking effect of the act to establish Common Pleas. The Court, on motion, correctly dismissed the complaint for want of jurisdiction. Section 3, c. 92, vol. 1, R. S. 1852.
Per Curiam.
The judgment is affirmed.
