Printz v. People
Michigan Supreme Court
Error to Wayne. Larceny. Respondent was convicted of the theft of a seal-skin saeque, which the owner testified was worth $125, and was sentenced to the State Prison for five years.
1Opinion of the CourtGraves, J.
The witness, Mary McKenzie, was competent to give the, value of her seal-skin cloak. It was part of her personal apparel, which she had worn one winter. She testified that she had priced such articles, and that this one was certainly worth one hundred and twenty-five dollars. The evidence was regular and within previous decisions. It was not necessary to call dealers in second-hand furs.
The remaining objection is covered by Cummins v. The People, just decided, ante, p. 142.
There is no error and the judgment is affirmed.
The other Justices concurred.
