Rolin vs. The State of Georgia.
    1. A motion in arrest of judgment in a case of larceny from the house, predicated on the grounds that the indictment was so fatally defective that no legal judgment could be rendered thereon, that it did not charge the defendant with a violation of any penal law of this state, and that under it she should only have been sentenced for a misdemeanor, should specify the fatal defects in the indictment and state the grounds which could compel a sentence for a misdemeanor instead of a felony.
    (a.) In this case the offence of larceny from the house was charged in the language of the Code, and it was substantially alleged that the property charged to be stolen exceeded the value of fifty dollars. Code, §4414.
    2. The verdict was supported by the evidence.
    Judgment affirmed.
    April 24, 1883.
