1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
Fenner, J.
This case presents the same assignments of error which were considered and disposed of by us in the case of the State vs. Mason, just decided by us at this term, and for the reasons assigned by us in that case, they are overruled.
Defendant in this case, however, asks the reversal of the judgment on another ground. The indictment is for severing crop “ from the soil of another,” under section 2 of Act No. 8, Ex. Sess. of 1870; and charges the soil to be “ the soil of the succession of N. W. Sentell, deceased, worked and rented by Shed Collins.”
