Text extracted by OCR from a scanned original; check the original for exact wording.

Broyles, C. J.

The defendant was convicted of larceny from the house upon circumstantial evidence which did not exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of his guilt. It follows that the verdict was unauthorized and that the court erred in refusing to grant a, new trial.

Judgment reversed.

MacIntyre and Querry, JJ., concur.

Glaxton & Glaxton, for plaintiff in error. ■J. Boy Rowland, solicitor, B. L. Rowland, contra.
