1Opinion of the Court

CARR, Judge.

The appellant was tried in the court below on an indictment charging in separate counts burglary, grand larceny, and receiving stolen property.

The accused interposed pleas of “not guilty” and “not gu'ilty by reason of insanity.”

In an able oral charge the trial judge instructed the jury as to the applicable law. The jury responded with a general verdict of guilt.

It is not disputed in the evidence that Mr. W. L. Berryman’s storehouse was entered by breaking a window thereto, and that an appreciable amount of merchandise and some money were taken and carried away.
