Supreme Court of Missouri · Decided March 15, 1863 · Bates, Bay, Dryden
34 Mo. 67

State v. Donnegan

Opinion of the Court

Bates, Judge,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The defendant was indicted for stealing a horse, mare, buggy and set of harness. Before the trial, the circuit attorney announced that he would not further prosecute the indictment against the defendant so far as the same relates to the charge of the larceny of the buggy and set pf harness.

We cannot see that there was any error in this prejudicial to the defendant. At the trial, evidence was given of the larceny of a gelding, and objection was made that it did not support the indictment for stealing a horse. There is no force in the objection.

Judgment affirmed.

Judges Bay and Dryden concur.
