Lead Opinion
By the Court.

An acquittal of the charge of larceny of certain goods is not a bar to an indictment for the larceny of certain other goods, although the last mentioned goods are of such a character that the language of the first indictment might describe them. Therefore the refusal to adopt the defendant’s request for instructions, and the instructions given, were right.

Exceptions overruled.
