Johnson vs. The State of Georgia.
    If an indictment describes property stolen in a particular way, it is incumbent on the state to prove the description given, but where the indictment described the property stolen as “ a certain red heifer,” it was proper to allow proofs of other marks of identification than those set forth in the indictment. 57 Ga., 367; 64 ■Id., 443, 449.
    Judgment affirmed.
    March 11, 1884.
   Blandford, Justice.

[Indictment for stealing “ a certain red heifer.” Evidence admitted, over objection, that the heifer had a certain brand on her, and that the hide found in defendant’s possession had the same brand on it. This was assigned as error.]
