57 Ga. 28

Rivers v. State

Supreme Court of Georgia

Decided July 15, 1876

Supreme Court of Georgia · decided 1876-07-15

<p>An indictment for simple larceny in stealing hogs is sufficiently certain in describing them, if they be so described as to be identified by the owner.</p>

Decided 1876-07-15

Jackson, Judge.

¶1The indictment described the hog stolen as a black hog, mark unknown, of the value of $4 00, and the property of one G. K. & T. R. Taylor. The court below held it good, and error is assigned to this judgment.

¶2The Code is very broad; the only description necessary is such as that the owner may identify the hog, and this was done in this case: See Code, section 4400 ; 44 Georgia Reports, 300.

¶3Judgment affirmed.
