A writ of venire commencing “ State of South Carolina, county of Spartanburg. To the sheriff of Spartanburg county,” &c., is a sufficient compliance with the constitutional requirement, (Art.'IV., $ 31,) that “all writs and processes shall run in the name of the State of South Carolina.”*</p> <p>4. A person who steals a horse in another State, and brings it into this State and here converts it to his own úse, can be indicted here for larceny.</p>
