State v. Osborne

Opinion of the Court

McClain, J. —

The only error assigned is in the giving of an instruction in which robbery is defined as “the larceny of property from _ the person of the owner, accompanied by violence or putting him in fear.” While this is not the language of the definition given in the Code (section 4753), it is we think, equivalent -to that of the Code. See Bouvier’s Law Dictionary (Bawle’s Ed.) sub nom. “Bobbery.” — Affirmed.
