We think these positions unten- able. The allegations in the indictment, leaving ont the alle- gations as to malice, constituted the offence of manslaughter. The unlawfulness and wilfulness of the acts alleged are charged, and also that they were done with malice. Ths acts charged, when proved to have been done wilfully and with malice, constituted murder within section 5339. Tha Bame acts, when proved to have been done unlawfuUy and vrilf ully, but -without malice, constituted manslaughter, within section 5341. The commission of such offence of man- elaughter was necessarily included in the offence charged in the indictment, because the absence of malice, the other in- gredients charged being proved, made the case one of man- slaughter, when, with the malice added, it would have been murder. �The motion is denied. �Behedict, D.
