Opinion

Reade, J.

In the case of State v. Collins, at this term the witness could not say whether it was a bank bill or Treasury note that was stolen ; and, therefore, the defendant could not be convicted. But in this case the witness said: “I cannot say positively, but I think it was a National Bank note.” From this the jury might find that it was a bank note ; and the conviction was right.

There were other exceptions by the defendants, and also a motion in arrest of judgment; but there is no force in them.

There is no error. This will be certified.

PeR CüRIAm. Judgment affirmed.
