PEOPLE v. WIGGINS.
(Affirming 1 W. 7. Grim. Rep. 290.)
Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the General Term of the Supreme Court, affirming a judgment of conviction of the General Sessions of New York (reported ante, page 290).
Howe & Hummel, for the defendant, appellant.
John McKeon, district attorney, and A. J. Requier (assistant), for the people, respondent.

Opinion:
Earl, J.
The proof was ample to convict the defendant of the crime for which she was indicted,-and there was no error in the charge of the judge. It was not necessary for the people to call Mrs.. Curtis as a witness. There was sufficient evidence that she was the person in Macy's store; that she owned the pocket-book, and that the defendant took it from her against her will, and without her consent, for the purpose of stealing it.
The judgment should be affirmed.
All concur.
