Commonwealth v. Lowery

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Commonwealth v. Lowery, 149 Mass. 67 (Mass. 1889)
20 N.E. 697; 1889 Mass. LEXIS 118

Commonwealth v. Lowery

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

It is well settled that, upon an indictment charging in the same count a breaking and entering, and a larceny, the jury may return a general verdict, or a verdict of guilty of the larceny only. Jennings v. Commonwealth, 105 Mass. 586. The defendant does not argue his motion to quash the indictment, and we have no doubt that the ruling of the Superior Court thereon was correct.

Exceptions overruled.
