TM/ QUIIIIM V. Masan.—Dsesorm INDICTWINT
Mr. Bliss appeared es behalf of the defendant, who was
couvicted at 'rick on the fifth comet of an indictment, charg-
ing that he did nalesvfully, &e., male a fake claim as the
Agricultural tied Cattle Imamate Company, fit 'upset of a
home. A modes was made in arrest se judgment, on the
ground that the count did not show any off, nee. The in-
dictment, the learned counsel contended, al'eged an attempt,
but did not show any misdemeanant. The allegation that he
did unlawfully attempt, to , to obtain a Isere sum of money,
to wit, 221. 10s. with intent to defraud, &e., was clearly no
offense. The count was otherwise &festive, as it did not

The Chil 8.1011 mid the court thought the objection

Quinn.. °ALUM/IL—WHAT Ti • Han?
Mr. Henniker appeared for the defendant, who was con-
victed at the quarter sessions for Salop of stealing " a ham
value 10. " The learned counsel contended that the de:trip-
e= wee istau&ti nt. It might he a portion of as animal
fermi nature, in which no roper!' coi.ld ibaist. In the
case of " The Queen e. Cox" (Camng:on and Payne, 494)
the court held that an indictment charging the defendant
with stealing eggs, without describing of what kind they
were, was bad. They might have been ereodile's or sakes
eggs, and coesequeutly in the nature fee nature, which
maid net be pro; arty. He subsittad that the present was
a ease in paint.
Tee Chet Bares—Dies it follow that Manse panthers
are fame nature, a person may steal a 'minable panther's
skin or a gimlet°a from a museum ?
Mr. Henniker—ln that ease the indictment would allege
that it was so stolen.
Mr. Justice Patteson could not understand the objection.
It might have been the ham of a bear, an animal of the elms
fere wane, and property nevertheless.
Mr. Henniker suggested that the acne objection would
apply to the case of the eggs.
Mr. Baron Platt—Suppose some epicures should fancy the
hams of foxes or rata, sad that they sh,.uld come to be
sold la Hoed-street, would them aot be property ?
Mr. Heanilter—The ease of the" Queen. Cox" is e-split&
as the point. It was not larmsay to steal a dog until a re-
cent statute was pared.
Mr. Bares Platt—Yes; bet if a dog had been converted
into a pie, would it not have bees larceny to take the pie ?
Mr. Henniker—As far as regards an animal of the class
fete nature, it must be shown in the indictment that it is
set so. • ant tar stealing "a duels," without stating what
kind of duck, would be bad.
Mr. Justice Pawnees—That applies only to live animal..
Mr. stenniker—ln the case of " The Quern v. Cox," the
indictment simply charged the primers. with stealing " eggs."
It was shone that they were retake eggs. (Laughter.)
The Chief Baron—Guinea fowl. No point semi to have
been reserved. The ewe is very shorty reported.

The Chief Baron—Might not the act of cutting up sad

Rewallhar—it does not follow that the animal of which
this ham was a partial had been killed and preserved by the
presencee.
The Chief Beres—We all think t'utt there eon be no
