Syllabus

<p>1. Where a wife’s property has become the subject of larceny, the 'ownership thereof in an indictment for such larceny can be properly laid in either the husband or the wife, where they live together — in her beqause of her legal ownership,, and in him because of his special ownership as custodian.</p> <p>2. Where an indictment lays the ownership of stolen property in one who is its lawful custodian and entitled to its possession, the 'ownership is sufficiently alleged, and it is not a fatal variance if the proof shows thtat the legal title to the property was in some one other than the person in whose possession it was and who had the care and management of it.</p>
