Borum v. State
Supreme Court of Alabama
Borum v. State, 66 Ala. 468 (Ala. 1880)
Stone
Borum v. State
Opinion of the Court
An indictment charging defendant with burglariously breaking and entering a building in which cotton was kept at the time for use, sale, or deposit, with intent to steal, and with stealing therefrom sixty pounds of seed-cotton of the value of three dollars, will support a conviction for petit larceny in stealing the cotton. Such finding is an acquittal of the burglary, and is good for the minor offense embraced in the charge. — Clark’s Manual, §§ 878-9 ; 2 Bussell on Crimes, Sharswood’s ed., 64 et seq.; 2 Whar. Amer. Crim. Law, §§ 1615-6.
The judgment is affirmed.
