Jones v. State

Jones was convicted of stealing “On female animal of the Bovine species, nearly two years of age, with a white body and red head, and without horns, marked swallow fork in one ear and underbit in the other ear, a more particular description of same being to the Grand Jurors unknown, the property of one R. Wardlow.”

It is here insisted that the indictment should have been quashed because no value of the animal is given, if the indictment proceeds under the general statute against larceny and if under General Statutes, section 3299, set out at length in Mobley v. State, 57 Fla. 22, 49 South.…
