Texas Supreme Court

Decided July 1, 1869

Texas Supreme Court · decided 1869-07-01

Tried below before Hon. A. J. Evans. The appellant was indicted for the theft of a mare, the property of T. G. Lucky. By the evidence it appeared that the name was 0. 0. Lucky, and there was no proof that it was ever otherwise called or written, or that the owner of the property ever was called or known by the name of T. 0. Lucky.

Decided 1869-07-01

Lindsay, J.

¶1The only error, relied upon by the defendant for the reversal of the judgment of conviction, is the variance between the allegation of the name of the injured party in the indictment and the proof upon the trial.

¶2The charge in the indictment was, that the animal stolen was the property of T. 0. Lucky,” whereas the proof showed it to he the property of “ G. C. Lucky.” Upon this point the court very properly and very correctly gave the law to the jury in the charge, and the jury passed upon the facts to which the charge was applicable, and settled the fact of the ownership of the property; and this court can see no sufficient reason to disturb the verdict. The judgment of the court below is affirmed, and the sentence of the law ordered to he pronounced.

¶3Affirmed.
