Supreme Court of Georgia·Decided May 12, 1900·Published·Cited by 10 cases

Opinion

Cobb, J.

While recent possession of stolen goods unexplained will justify a conviction for larceny, the mere possession of goods several months subsequent to the time they were alleged to have been stolen and a failure to satisfactorily account for such possession will not alone authorize a conviction.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concurring, except Fish, J., absent.
