People v. Gillette green
· 1908
2 sentences

1919The indictment in People v. Gillette ( 126 App. Div. 665 ) alleged that the subject-matter under inquiry was “whether officers or employees of any description of fife insurance companies in this State have lately violated in the County of New York the criminal laws of the State.” In the case under consideration the indictment states that the investigation was not whether any criminal law had been broken, but whether one specific statute had been violated.

1909Two justices of the Appellate Division in this department were of opinion, in the case of People v. Gillette, 126 App. Div. 665 , that the indictment there under consideration, charging perjury, was bad for what they deemed an insufficient description of the subject-matter with respect to which the alleged false answers were said to have been given.
