Jackson, Justice.
The sole question made in this record is whether the ver *664 diet is supported by the evidence. The defendant was found with the goods stolen in his possession — contradictory statements were made about them — the pantaloons taken from the shop were worn by him inconsistently with his explanation in respect to the manner in which he obtained them, he had a key filed down freshly, which fitted the door of the store from which the goods were taken, this door was locked at dusk and opened next morning about sunrise — and in accordance with the ruling in 59 Ga., 456 , Brown vs. The State, and in 60 Ga., 445 , Williams et al. vs. The State, it appears that the evidence makes a case in law which supports the verdict. Therefore the judgment is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.
