Syllabus

<p>1. Theft of Bank-notes — Evidence. — Positive identification of stolen paper money may in a great measure be dispensed with when there are circumstances from which the general inference of guilt may be deduced. Note the recapitulation of such circumstances in the opinion of the court.</p> <p>2. Same. — See the evidence collated in the opinion, and held sufficient proof of the value of stolen paper money.</p> <p>3. Allegation and Proof of Ownership. — Indictment laid the ownership of stolen paper money in one H. The proof showed that he was conducting a store for one M., and that he was in possession, and entitled to possession, of the store and money when the latter was stolen. Held, that the proof sustains the allegation.</p>
