Opinion

Per Curiam :

The motion was properly overruled.

1. The act of the General Assembly of 4907 (chapter 573) creating a recorder’s court for the city of Winston limits the jurisdiction of tbat court to offenses committed within the corporate limits of said city, and there is nothing appearing upbn the face of tbis record showing tbat the offense, was committed within those limits.

2. Larceny from tbe person, regardless of tbe value of tbe property, is neither a petty misdemeanor nor a felony, tbe punishment for which cannot exceed one year, under section 8506 of tbe Revisal.

The punishment for such offense, under sections 3500 and 3506, may be as much as ten years in tbe State’s Prison. Of tbis offense tbe Superior Court has exclusive jurisdiction.

Affirmed.
