By ¿he Court. delivering the opinion.

We think the evidence on the part of the State too slight and uncertain to convict the defendant, and that he is entitled to a new trial. He may be a hog-thief, but the proof should be clear, to convict a citizen of the offence charged. Upon the testimony, there is certainly room to doubt the guilt of the accused. The proof for ' him is stronger and more direct than the proof against him.

Judgment reversed.
