Opinion of the Court

Reade, J.

The probata does not correspond with the aVeynt. , and that is always fatal. If one is charged with-, stealing the property of A, it will not do to prove that he¡ .stole the joint property of A and B.

It was not strictly regular to take the objection after verdict on a motion in arrest of judgment; it ought to have been, taken on the trial; but still we see from the record that there was a fatal variance between the charge and the proof, and! that the defendant ought not to have been convicted. And therefore there was error.

There is error.
