Head Matter:
THE STATE VS. DIEDRICK LOHMDN.
Where the verdict does not conform to the indictment, the judgment will be arrested.
Before Mr. Justice Bay, at Charleston, October Term, 1835.
Indictment on four Gounts, respectively, for delivering, selling, exchanging, and giving spirituous liquor to a certain slave of Jacob F. Mintzing, named Sam. Verdict, “ guilty of the first and fourth counts, of giving and delivering liquor to a slave.”

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
No judgment can be given on the verdict, for it does not find the facts charged in the indictment of giving and delivering liquor to a slave named Sam, the property of Jacob F. Mintzing, but merely the " giving and delivering liquor to a slave." This is not a conviction of the offence charged.
Motion in arrest of judgment granted.
