126 Ga. 587; 55 S.E. 478; 1906 Ga. LEXIS 474

Toliver v. State

Opinion of the Court

Atkinson, J.

Larceny from the house of goods exceeding $50 in value is a felony, and the offense is not within the jurisdiction of a city court. The only evidence1 on the subject of value showing affirmatively that the watch, the subject of the alleged larceny from the house, was of the value of $65, the city court of Yaldosta was without jurisdiction, and the judgment of the court finding the defendant guilty should have been set aside.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concur.
