¶1 The bill of indictment charges the defendant and another with the larceny of “334 pounds of leaf tobacco, of the value of $58.97, the goods and chattels of L. B. Jenkins Company,” and with receiving same knowing it to have been feloniously stolen or taken in violation of C. S., 4250. There is no evidence on the record tending to show that the tobacco, if stolen or received with knowledge of its larceny by another, was the property of L. B. Jenkins Company. S. v. Hadfock, 3 N. C., 162. Proof of the corpus delicti, therefore, is wanting, or the crime as charged is not supported by the evidence. Hence, the defendant’s motion to dismiss or for judgment as in case of nonsuit should have been allowed. Allegation without proof is unavailing. S. v. Corpening, 191 N. C., 751, 133 S. E., 14.
¶2 Reversed.
