Syllabus

<p>1. Receiving Stolen Goods—Intent.</p> <p>For defendants to be guilty of receiving or concealing stolen goods, their receipt or concealment must be with a felonious intent, either to convert them to their own use, or that the receipt or concealment shall operate to the advantage of the thief.</p> <p>2. Receiving Stolen Goods—Constructive Concealment.</p> <p>While defendants are not guilty of receiving or concealing stolen money merely because of the thief, without their assent, acquiescence, or participation, burying it on-their premises, yet they, knowing thereof, or from the facts with which they are conversant being reasonably chargeable with further concealment or preventing discovery of it, may be held constructively to have concealed it.</p>
