Appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco, and from an order refusing a new trial. Edward A. Belcher, Judge. The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
1Opinion of the CourtHenshaw, J.
Defendant was convicted of grand larceny. Upon this appeal he urges but one ground for .reversal; that is an alleged error of the trial court .in instructing the jury.
The court charged the jury as follows: “If you are not satisfied that he (defendant) is guilty of the offense charged against him, your verdict will be guilty.”
Thereupon the attorney for the defendant asked: “ Does your honor say to the jury that petit larceny is not embraced in the charge?” To which the court answered: “ Precisely.” To this ruling defendant’s counsel entered his exception, and urges it as error upon this appeal.
