Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
The demurrer to the indictment should have been sustained. It is esséntial, in an indictment for receiving stolen property, to describe the property with the same particularity as is required in an indictment for larceny. See 2 Bishop, New Crim. Proc., secs. 982, 983; Ib. see. 699 et seq.
The judgment is reversed, the demurrer to the indictment sustained, the indictment quashed, and the prisoner will be held to await a proper indictment.
