Opinion

Stacy, C. J.

Judgment in a criminal prosecution may be arrested, on motion duly made, when, and only when, some fatal error or defect appears on the.face of the record. S. v. Lewis, 194 N. C., 620, 140 S. E., 434; S. v. Mitchem, 188 N. C., 608, 125 S. E., 190; S. v. Efird, 186 N. C., 482, 119 S. E., 881; S. v. Jenkins, 164 N. C., 527, 80 S. E., 231; S. v. Douglass, 63 N. C., 500; S. v. Roberts, 19 N. C., 541. But this would not include a variance between the indictment and the proof, or want of evidence to support the verdict, for they are not matters appearing on the face of the record proper. S. v. Jarvis, 129 N. C., 698, 40 S. E., 220; S. v. McLain, 104 N. C., 894, 10 S. E., 518; McCanless v. Flinchum, 98 N. C., 358, 4 S. E., 359.

The indictment, in the instant case, includes, or is sufficient in form to charge, the offense of larceny. C. S., 4640. Hence, the motion in arrest of judgment was properly overruled.

Affirmed.
