' Indictment for larceny; from Bryan superior court — Judge Sheppard. May 9, 1917.

1Opinion of the CourtBeoyles, P. J.

1. An indictment for simple larceny, which charges the accused with stealing “one black barrow hog of the value of $10, the property of W. D. Sands, also one dark red or suttie sow hog of the value of $10, the property of one W. D. Sands,” sets forth a legally sufficient description of the stolen property. Brown v. State, 44 Ga. 300; Rivers v. State, 57 Ga. 28; Harvey v. State, 121 Ga. 590 (49 S. E. 674). Under the foregoing ruling the court did not err in overruling the oral motion to quash the indictment on the ground that there was no proper and sufficient description of the stolen hogs.
