Mr. Justice Compton delivered the opinion of the Court. The defendant in error was indicted under sec. 9, chap. 51, Gould's Dig., for playing cards on Sunday. On motion of the defendant, the court quashed the indictment, because it did not allege the name of the game played. According to the principle decided in Stogden vs. State, 18 Ark. 18 (1, such allegation was not necessary. See also The State vs. Purnell, 16 Ark. 507-8. The judgment must be reversed.
