he inserted, as a mere innttcr of form.
As it regards the objection that the indictment contains a charge ofa conspiracy to commit a riot OS well aa u charge of actually committing the ri- ot,and that these oHcnccs cannot bejoincd in one indictment, the court do not think that this is a valid objection. It is true the doctrine contended for, has tho hi;;hly respectable authority of chief
justice Parsons, in the case ofthc Ooinmonwcalth  „„ improperly acted upon by ihcm.    'J'Jic'court Jta.s «ff. Kingsbury, 5 Mass. lOb, to HU.stutuiL    Hutac-J the power ofcontroUing the course of their proceed, cording to the practice in the criminal courts  of Jugs, and itis riMit that llicy should have it.   Th Pennsylvania, such is not held to be the luw here, -¦ .-'...
With lis, as in England, the court think il will be found that this doctrine is confined to cases of fcl- onics: audi too was the decision of tlm supreme court of New York in the case of llic People va. IMaliuT, ¦! Wendell 265, in which an iudicimcnl containing a count for ndsdcnieanor as well as a count for a conspiracy to commit it, was ludd good.
Tho remaining objection growing out of the ¦manner in which the indictment found its way in¬ to court remains lo be considered
errors ofthc court can be revised and corrected by a higher tribunal, whicli would not be the case were the mode of coudiicting the husinesu of the court cominitled to a body Tike tho grand jury, whose erroneous proceeding could not bo correc¬ ted at uH, if tho court in which they sit and of which they are a constituent part, when in the line of their duly, have not llic power lo do iU On this ground then alone, independent of any other cxpcclatioristhc court is bound by every principle of law and justice, by every regard lo the order and system necesaary in conducting Uie business of the court, as well by the positive provisions of an act orasscmhiy wliich extends to and governs the case, toqunsh tliis indtctnicnt.
