19 Cal. 425
California Supreme Court·Decided July 1, 1861·Published·Cited by 8 cases

Opinion

Baldwin, J. delivered the opinion of the Court

Field, C. J. concurring.

This was a case for altering the brand of a horse with intent to steal it.

[426] The indictment charges the property as that of an estate. This is insufficient. The charge should be of altering the brand of the animal as that of a particular individual, or that the owner of the animal was unknown.

For this error the judgment must be reversed and cause remanded.
