Davis vs. State.
    Burglary, from Muscogee. Criminal Law. Burglary. (Before Judge Willis.)
    J. G. Moore; Hatcher & Peabody, for plaintiff in error.
    Thos. W. Grimes, Solicitor General, by W. A. Little; J. M. McNeil, for the State.
   Blandford, J.

Where a burglary has been committed, and a short ’time thereafter some of the property which was in the house broken open before and at the time of the burglary is found in the possession ■of the accused, if the possession of the property is not accounted for, this affords a presumption of guilt.

(a) There was no error in the charge, and the verdict was sustained by the evidence.

Judgment affirmed.
