1. “"When a person is charged with breaking and entering with intent to commit grand larceny, an essential element of that offense is his intent at the time of his breaking and entering to commit grand larceny (that is, to steal property of the value of $100 or more), which element must be proven at the trial. While, in the absence of `other evidence or circumstances,' the best evidence of his intent is what he did steal, nevertheless, his said intent may be proven by such other evidence or circumstances.
