Proe*396tor, and of the value of $12.00, unlawfully, wrongfully and fraudulently, did take and carry away with intent to steal the same.” Defendants demurred on the grounds, that the indictment alleges no offence, and that the description of the property alleged to have been stolen is insufficient. The demurrer was overruled.
