Syllabus

<p>Theft—Repeal. — “ Theft from a house ” having, as a specific offense, been repealed by the act of August 21, 1876, without any saving as to past offenses, it was error, after the passage of the repealing act, to put upon his trial for simple theft a party who stood indicted for theft from a house when the repealing act was enacted. The case should have been dismissed. Montgomery v. The State, 2 Texas Ot. App. 618, cited and approved.</p>
