1537.
    Daniels et al. v. The State.
    Accusation of larceny from house, from city court of Springfield — Judge Smith. October 20, 1908.
    Submitted January 14,
    Decided January 27, 1909.
    
      Strange .& Cobb, for plaintiff in error.
    
      R. W. Sheppard, solicitor, D. H. Ciarle, contra.
   Powell, J.

1. This court has jurisdiction of a writ of error from the city court of Spring-field. While in the act creating that court Springfield is referred to as a town, yet by the act of 1907 (Georgia Laws 1907, p. 923) this municipality was expressly declared by the legislature to be a city.

2. The evidence clearly shows that a larceny was committed, and raises a strong suspicion that the defendants, or some of them, were involved in the commission of the larceny; yet the circumstances adduced were not sufficient legally to connect any particular defendant with the crime. The conviction must therefore be set aside. Judgment reversed.
