Syllabus

<p>Indictment nor Larceny. — An indictment for larceny which charges that the defendant “did feloniously, wilfully, and unlawfully, and with force and arms, steal, take, and carry, lead, and drive away,” etc., contains a sufficient statement of the intent with which the taking was done, without an averment that the property was taken with a felonious intent.</p> <p>New Trial in Criminal Case.—The appellate Court will not, in a criminal case, grant a new trial on the ground that the verdict is contrary to the evidence, if the testimony is conflicting.</p>
