The jury found the defendant guilty as charged in the third count of the indictment. That count charged the defendant with feloniously stealing legal tender notes of the value of $240, the property of Robert Wilson. The defendant had sold and transferred to Wilson a note and mortgage made to Mm by Mary Allison, and after the transfer, and notice thereof to the mortgagor, the defendant received the money thereon, and appropriated the same to his own use ; and this is the alleged larceny. The evidence is conflicting as to whether he had or had not authority from Wilson to collect the money of Mrs. Allison. If he had not, the legal tender notes were not the property of Wilson; if he had, the defendant, by appropriating them to his own use, did not commit the crime of simple larceny, as charged, but, if any crime, that of embezzlement.

By the Court. — The verdict is set aside, and a venire de novo awarded.
