Commonwealth v. Moriarty

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Commonwealth v. Moriarty, 135 Mass. 540 (Mass. 1883)
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.
