Commonwealth v. Searls
Commonwealth v. Searls
11 Ky. Op. 335; 3 Ky. L. Rptr. 394; 1881 Ky. LEXIS 313
Commonwealth v. Searls
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
This indictment does not charge two offenses, as appears to have been the view of the court below. The charge is of taking and carrying away personal property, and the specification is that appellee cut and carried away a certain number of trees. Both the cutting and carrying away are denounced by the statute, and constitute but one offense under Gen. Stat. (1879), Ch. 29, Art. 28, § 7.
Wherefore the judgment is reversed and cause remanded.
