    "head_matter": "The People of the State of Illinois, Defendant in Error, v. Nellie Morgan, Plaintiff in Error.\nGen. No. 20,756.\n(Not to he reported in full.)\nError to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. John R. New-comes, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in this court at the March term, 1915. Affirmed.\nOpinion filed October 5, 1915.\nStatement of the Case.\nInformation by the People of the State of Illinois, plaintiff, against Nellie Morgan, defendant, in the Municipal Court of Chicago, charging defendant with the larceny of \u201cfour dollars and fifty cents, good and lawful money of the United States of America, and one pocketbook of the value of fifty cents, all of the value of four dollars and fifty cents.\u201d The jury found defendant guilty of larceny and that the value of the property stolen was four dollars and ten cents. Defendant was sentenced to pay a fine of twenty-five dollars, and to imprisonment for ten months. To reverse a judgment of conviction, defendant prosecutes this writ of error.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Larceny, \u00a7 25 \u2014when description of money insufficient. An information which charges defendant with the larceny of a pocketbook, and also with the larceny of money, without describing the money further than by stating its amount, and without alleging that the description is unknown, is defective in so far as it charges larceny of the money, and must be regarded as charging merely larceny of the pocketbook.\n2. Larceny, \u00a7 41 \u2014when verdict may find thing stolen of greater value than charged. On an information charging defendant with larceny, the jury are warranted, on proper evidence, in finding the value of the article alleged to have been stolen to be greater than alleged in the information.\n3. Criminal law, \u00a7 384 \u2014when length of sentence in discretion of court. Within the limits fixed by law, the amount of sentence in a criminal case is a matter which rests in the discretion of the trial judge.\nCharles E. Erbstein and Charles P. R. Macauley, for plaintiff in error.\nMaclay Hoyne, for defendant in error; Edward E. Wilson, of counsel.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
