        "text": "Hart, J.\nThe sufficiency of the indictment is the only question presented by the record. Omitting the formal parts, it reads as follows:\n\u201cThe grand jury' of Sebastian County, for the Fort Smith District thereof, in the name and by the authority of the State of Arkansas, accuse the defendants, Steve Perry and Frank Coley, of the crime of grand larceny, committed as follows, to-wit: The said defendants in the county and district aforesaid, on the thirtieth day of November, 1909, one horse of the value of fifty dollars, the property of one Josephine Coley then and there being, unlawfully and feloniously did steal, take and carry away, against the peace and dignity of the State of Arkansas.\u201d\nIt is claimed by counsel for appellee that the indictment returned by the grand jury contains the word \u201cand\u201d where \u201cof\u201d is used in the clause, \u201cthe property of one Josephine Coley;\u201d but the record shows the indictment to be as copied above; and we are not asked to correct the record. The matter is immaterial, however, for the context shows that the word \u201cof\u201d is meant, and if the word \u201cand\u201d was used instead, it would be a clerical mistake, and would not vitiate the indictment. Bennett v. State, 73 Ark. 386.\nThe indictment is not defective because it does not allege that the defendant took the property with the intent to convert it to his own use. In the case of State v. Boyce, 65 Ark. 82, where the indictment in this respect was similar to the one in question, the court, after quoting our statute that \u201clarceny is the felonious stealing, taking and carrying, riding or driving away, the personal property of another,\u201d said: \u201cThe word \u2018steal\u2019 has a uniform signification, and in common as well as legal parlance means \u2018the felonious taking and carrying away of the personal goods of another.\u2019 \u201d\nTherefore the court erred in sustaining a demurrer to the indictment. The judgment will be reversed, with directions to overrule the demurrer, and to proceed with the case.",

Perry.\nOpinion delivered March 14, 1910.\nLarceny \u2014 indictment.\u2014An indictment for larceny which alleges that defendant the property of another \u201cunlawfully .and feloniously did steal, take and carry away,\u201d etc., is sufficient, although it does not allege that defendant took the property with intent to convert it to his own use.\nAppeal from Sebastian Circuit Court, Fort Smith District; Daniel Hon, Judge;\nreversed.\nHal L. Norwood, Attorney General, and Wm. H. Rector, Assistant, for appellee.\n1. The indictment is good. It was unnecessary to allege that the taking was with the intent to convert to the defendant\u2019s own use, etc. 97 Cal. 194; 144 Mass. 568; 33 Da. Ann. 979; 41 Id. 784. The indictment put the defendant on notice, and charged the offense with such certainty as to enable the court to pronounce judgment.
