Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided October 1, 1883
135 Mass. 540; 1883 Mass. LEXIS 128

Commonwealth v. Moriarty

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

The indictment alleges that the defendant broke and entered a certain building situated in Springfield, *541“ to wit, the office building of the Boston and Albany Railroad Company.” This is a sufficient description of the building.

The proof that the building broken was the building used for the general office of the company sustained the allegation of the indictment; it is not important that there were other buildings in Springfield owned by the company and used for its subordinate offices. Exceptions overruled.
