People v. Hicks, 66 Cal. 103 (Cal. 1884)
4 P. 1093; 1884 Cal. LEXIS 700
McKee
People v. Hicks
Opinion of the Court
-The only point made by the appellant in this case is, that “ the information fails to allege that the property taken was the property of some person other than the defendant.” But the information contains this averment, viz: “ That the property taken was the personal property in the possession of Frederick Schwartz, * * * and that the same was taken from the person and against the will of him, the said Schwartz.” We think this is a sufficient averment that the property belonged to Schwartz,, and that it was taken from him by the defendant.
Judgment affirmed.
Ross, J., and McKinstry, J., concurred.
