Crowell vs. The State of Georgia.
    1 The verdict was warranted by the evidence.
    2. Where it appeared that certain pigs, for the larceny of which the defendant was indicted, were found in the possession of a person who testified to having purchased them from the accused, and that the owner sued out a possessory warrant for them and notified the accused that he intended to carry the sow, whose litter the pigs were, up to the trial of the possessory warrant, to see if she would recognize the pigs, it was admissible for him to testify that the sow was killed on the following night.
    3. Evidence that another than the defendant was in jail under an accusation by the same prosecutor for hog-stealing was inadmissible, where it appeared that the hogs, which such other party was charged with having stolen, were not the same as those for the larceny of which the defendant was indicted.
    4 The charge was full and fair, and correctly stated the law of the case.
    Judgment affirmed.
    October 21, 1884.
   Blandford, Justice.
