George v. State
Mississippi Supreme Court
1Opinion of the Court
McG-owen, «T.,

Appellant was tried and convicted in the circuit court of Jackson county on an indictment charging him with burglary and larceny, and sentenced to serve a term in the State Penitentiary.
Appellant argues that the case should be reversed on three grounds.(1) That the indictment improperly alleged the ownership of the house burglarized in “the estate of W. M. Canty;”(2) That there was no proof of a breaking; and(3) That he did not have a fair and impartial trial because no instructions were given the jury, either for the state or for himself.
