Opinion:
Little, J.
1. There was evidence sufficient to authorize a finding by the jury that the accused was guilty of the offense with which he was charged.
2. Thetrial judge committed no errorin refusing to instruct the jury as requested by counsel for the defendant. The question whether the accused intended to steal, as well as that whether he did in fact commit the larceny charged, was fairly submitted in the general charge, which covered the particular matter of intention referred to in the request.
3. The trial judge fairly submitted the issues made by the pleadings and evidence,'and his charge was not calculated to mislead the jury in their finding.
4. The evidence alleged to be newly discovered was immaterial in its character, and was not legally sufficient to change or influence the verdict.
Judgment affirmed.
