Syllabus

<p>1 Where the only evidence of the guilt of persons charged with larceny, is that they were out hunting in the vicinity where the remains of a dead animal of the hovine species were found, from which most of the meat had been taken, and that one of the defendants had some beef in his lunch bucket, and one of them had beef for dinner, several days thereafter, and there is no proof of the ownership of the animal alleged to have been stolen, and none that anybody had lost one, the evidence fails to make out the offence charged.</p> <p>2. Where there is no substantial evidence upon which to find a verdict, of guilt, the judgment will be reversed.</p>
