By the Court. The indictment does not pursue the precedents and is not sufficiently certain, in describing the tract of land. There should be at least as much certainty in a criminal prosecution, as in an ejectment. A conviction on such an indictment may operate to great injustice ; and however reluctant we may be, we are constrained to determine, that the judgment must be reversed, and re-restitution awarded.
