Commonwealth v. O'Hara

Opinion of the Court

Dewey, J.

This case falls directly within the principle of the Rev. Sts. c. 133, § 11, declaring it to be sufficient if either the general or special property in the goods stolen be in the person alleged in the indictment. Such was also the rule at common law, independently of the statute. Commonwealth v. Morse, 14 Mass. 217. Archb. Crim. Pl. (13th ed.) 34, 271.
