It appears, chiefly from appellant’s testimony, that on August 27, 1906, he arrived in Plymouth about noon. He was fourteen years old, and had, a few months before, spent a few weeks in the city. He lounged about the streets during the afternoon, and at 6:30 o ’clock in the evening, without the permission of, or acquaintance with, the owner, untied the prosecuting witness’s horse from a rack in the street where it was tied,, and drove out
“We, the jury, in the above cause, find the defendant, Harry Malone, guilty of grand larceny, as charged in the affidavit, and that he he committed to the Indiana Reform School for Boys until he reach the age of twenty-one years.”
The only objection made to the form of the verdict is confined to the words in italics. Section 8310 Burns 1901, Acts 1883, p. 19, §8, expressly provides that in a case like this “the court or jury trying the same may commit said boy to this institution [Indiana Reform School for Boys] instead of the jail óf the county or State’s prison.” There is, therefore, nothing wrong in the form of the verdict. See. also, §8310a Burns 1905, Acts 1903, p. 251.
Judgment affirmed.
