State v. Lesson
State v. Lesson
Opinion of the Court
The defendant was convicted of receiving stolen goods to the value of $S9, in the Middlesex County Quarter Sessions.
The plaintiff in error files nine assignments of error and nine specifications of causes for reversal, which are argued under five heads in the brief filed on behalf of the plaintiff in error. There is no legal merit in any of them.
First, the court erred in refusing to direct a verdict of acquittal, at the close of the case for the state; second, the court erred in submitting the case to the jury; fourth, the verdict was against the weight of the evidence. Not so. Questions of fact for the jury were involved under all these points. Third, variance between the indictment and the proof. Not so. Fifth, error in the charge of the trial judge; the criticism is aimed at that portion of the charge in which
Finding no error in the record, the judgment is therefore affirmed.
