Syllabus

<p>Embezzlement—Elements—“Agent.” The delivery of a note and mortgage to one for the purposes of collection, makes him the agent of the owner, within the statute defining embezzlement by an agent.</p> <p>Same—Intent—Evidence—Sufficiency. In a prosecution for the embezzlement of the proceeds of a note and mortgage delivered to the accused for the purpose of collection, intent to deprive the owner of the property is sufficiently established by the ■ fact that accused sold the note and mortgage to a third person and converted the proceeds to his own use.</p> <p>Same—Defenses—Settlement. It is no defense to a prosecution for embezzlement that the accused subsequently settled the matter with the victim.</p>
