United States v. Eliza Rigsby.
    In larceny, “ one silver coin of the value of fifty cents,” is a sufficient description of the property stolen.
    The defendant was convicted of larceny.
    
      Mr. Heioiit, for the defendant,
    moved in arrest of judgment, that “ one silver coin of the value of fifty cents of the goods and chattels of one John ICinchelow,” is too vague and uncertain a description of the property stolen. It does not state the value in the current money of the United States, or of any other country.
   The Court,

(Thruston, J., absent,)

after looking into precedents, overruled the motion.
