Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Criminal Law — Receiving Stolen Property — Insufficient Information. The words, “the aforesaid neat cattle,” used as a description of property in a count of an information charging the offense of receiving stolen property, are alone insufficient for that purpose; and they are likewise insufficient to incorporate into that count allegations of number, sex, age, color and brands characterizing cattle fully described in the preceding count.</p> <p>2. -Larceny and Receiving Stolen Property Held Separate Crimes. Larceny and receiving stolen property are separate and distinct crimes, and the waiver of a preliminary examination on a warrant charging larceny only will not authorize the filing of an information charging the offense of receiving stolen property.</p>
