Commonwealth v. Sutherland

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Commonwealth v. Sutherland, 109 Mass. 342 (Mass. 1872)

Commonwealth v. Sutherland

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

An acquittal of the charge of larceny of certain goods is not a bar to an indictment for the larceny of certain other goods, although the last mentioned goods are of such a character that the language of the first indictment might describe them. Therefore the refusal to adopt the defendant’s request for instructions, and the instructions given, were right.

Exceptions overruled.
