Syllabus

<p>Theft—Evidence—Charge of the Court.—See the opinion in extenso for evidence held insufficient to support a conviction for felonious theft; and for circumstances under which, the evidence showing a series of depredations, hut not the value of the property taken at any one time, it was the duty of the trial court to charge the jury that to sustain a conviction for felonious theft, it devolved upon the State to select a certain transaction, and prove the value of the property involved therein to have been twenty dollars or more.</p>
