Supreme Court of Georgia
Portwood v. State, 124 Ga. 783 (Ga. 1906)
53 S.E. 99; 1906 Ga. LEXIS 614
Atkinsow
Portwood v. State
Opinion of the Court
1. Upon a prosecution for simple larceny, proof that the thing stolen was of some value is indispensable to a legal conviction. Lane v. State, 113 Ga. 1040, and cit. In this case, there being no evidence whatever upon the subject of value, there could not have been a legal conviction; and hence the verdict was without evidence to support it, and a new tidal should have been granted.
2. A new trial being required under the ruling made in the first headnote, the other questions made in this ease (there being no complaint of any , ruling of the court upon questions of law) will not be considered.
Judgment reversed.
