Opinion:
By the Court.
In an indictment for larceny, the word " steal " implies a carrying away; and, therefore, an indictment for larceny of a sheep, charging that the defendant did " feloniously steal, take, and drive " the sheep, without alleging that he drove or carried it away, sufficiently describes the offense under our statute.
Exceptions overruled.
