Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Field
Field, C. J. delivered the opinion of the Court Cope, J. concurring.
The indictment in this case is fatally defective in the statement of the facts constituting the offense charged. Robbery is defined by the statute to be “ the felonious and violent taking of money, goods, or other valuable thing from the person of another by force or intimidation.” The indictment does not allege the taking in the present case from the person of another, but only from another person, which is quite a different thing. The demurrer should have been sustained.
Judgment reversed and cause remanded.
