7223.
    Butler v. The State.
    Decided April 17, 1916.
    Accusation of larceny; from city court of Dublin — Judge Hicks. June 13, 1916.
    
      W. A. Dampier, for plaintiff in error.
    
      S. P. New, solicitor, contra.

The conviction depending wholly upon circumstantial evidence, it was reversible error for the court to fail to instruct the jury as to the law of circumstantial evidence, though not requested to charge thereon. Judgment reversed.

Russell, C. J., absent.
