Syllabus

<p>LARCENY OF CATTLE — SUFFICIENCY OF INFORMATION—ALLEGATION OF VALUE — MISCONDUCT OF PROSECUTING ATTORNEY — HARMLESS ERROR.</p> <p>In an information charging the larceny of cattle under § 52, Penal Code, providing that if any person shall steal certain animals (naming them), “of any value,” he shall be deemed guilty, etc., it is not necessary that the value of the stolen cattle should be alleged. (Anders and Gordon, JJ., dissent.)</p> <p>Remarks of the prosecuting attorney, apparently of a character amounting to misconduct on his part, will not warrant a reversal, when the record is fragmentary and indefinite on the subject and does not disclose under what circumstances the remarks were tendered.</p>
