Syllabus

<p>Criminal law — Larceny—Indictment—Bill of particulars.</p> <p>An indictment charging the prisoner with the larceny of “fourteen dollars lawful money of the United States, the notes and coins composing said sum being to the inquest aforesaid as yet unknown,” etc., is a sufficient description of the property. If the defendant requires a more specific description of the property he is charged with stealing, in order to make a proper defense, he may ask for a bill of particulars.</p>
