Gatlin v. State
39 Tex. 130
Tex.
1873
Check Treatment
Walker, J.

The appellant is charged with stealing one mule, of the value of fifty dollars, and one saddle valued at twenty-five dollars, the property of Harry Mus-grove. The proof shows the general ownership of the property to have been in Bennett Musgrove, but it also shows a special ownership of the property in Harry Mus-grove. Where there is a general ownership in one person and a special in another, in the property stolen, the indictment may lay the property in either. (2 Bishop’s Crim. Prac., 720; Langford v. The State, 8 Texas, 105.)
