2. In a case in which the indictment charged the prisoner with having
administered to a woman a decoction of a certain shrub called savin, it
appeared that the prisoner had administered an infusion (q.v.) and not a
decoction; the prisoner's counsel insisted that he was entitled to an
acquittal, on the ground that the medicine was misdescribed, but it was held
that infusion and decoction are ejusdem generis, and that the variance was
immaterial. 3 Camp. R. 74, 75.
