State v. Leavitt

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
State v. Leavitt, 32 Me. 183 (Me. 1850)
Shepley

State v. Leavitt

Opinion of the Court

Shepley, C. J.,

orally.—The request to the Judge assumed that, if certain acts would support a charge for larceny, they could not support an indictment for malicious mischief. But there is no such principle of law. This court has recently decided that-acts, which might have supported an indictment for arson, would support a charge for malicious mischief. The instruction requested was properly refused.

Exceptions overruled.
