Syllabus

<p>Burglary. Evidence. Sufficiency.</p> <p>Where in a prosecution for burglary and larceny, the prosecutor testified that the goods found did not have any private mark on them, hut they were all like the kind of goods he had in his store, that he could not swear positively as to the quantity of goods he had lost, nor that the goods found were his, and it was further shown that when arrested, the defendant explained how he came in to the possession of the goods, and there was no proof contradicting such explanation. In such case, the evidence was not sufficient to convict.</p>
