• 9 Tex. Ct. App. 143

Syllabus

<p>1. Indictment for robbery described the property taken, as “one currency note of the value and denomination of ten dollars, a further and more particular description of which is to the grand jury unknown.” Se Id, that this description is insufficient. The indictment should at least have alleged of what nation, country, or State the note was currency.</p> <p>2. Bobbert is but aggravated theft, and the same degree of descriptive particularity is requisite in an indictment for the former as in one for the latter offence.</p>
