Syllabus

<p>1. Cbiminal law—possession of stolen goods—as evidence of guilt— os to both burglary and larceny. Where a larceny of goods is committed at the time of a burglary, the possession by a party, immediately after the crime, of some of the stolen goods, is evidence of guilt, and participation in the burglary as well as in respect of the larceny.</p> <p>2. Same—general verdict—several counts. Where a burglary is committed by breaking into a railroad car, the prosecution may allege the ownership of the car in different corporations, by two or more separate counts; and a general verdict of guilty may be referred to either count, when only one felony is shown, and such verdict will authorize judgment.</p> <p>3. Change of venxje—regularity of proceedings—objection waived after verdict. An objection to the sufficiency of the clerk’s certificate to the transcript of the proceedings on a change of venue is waived by the party going into the trial. All objections to the regularity of the proceedings in obtaining a change of venue, and the jurisdiction of the court to which the case is sent, are waived by the verdict.</p>
