Syllabus

<p>Criminal Law — Rights of Accused — Meeting Witness — Trial. It is not error, in that accused did not meet tbe witnesses face to face, as required by Rem. Code, § 2306, that tbe stenographer read over the testimony of a witness for the benefit of a juror who fell asleep, and the accused was then given opportunity to ask the witness any questions whether previously covered or not.</p> <p>Larceny — Ownership of Property — Evidence—Incorporation of Company. In a prosecution for stealing a calf alleged to belong to the S. stock company, it is not material to prove that the company was incorporated, where it was shown to be dealing in stock; hence oral evidence of its incorporation is not prejudicial.</p> <p>Same — Evidence—Sufficiency. There is sufficient evidence to sustain a conviction of stealing a calf, where its head, hide, and feet were identified, and there was evidence that it was in the possession of the defendants, who sold it to a butcher.</p>
