Reynolds v. State
24 Ga. 427
Ga.1858Check TreatmentBy ¿he Court. delivering the opinion.
We think the evidence on the part of the State too slight and uncertain to convict the defendant, and that he is entitled to a new trial. He may be a hog-thief, but the proof should be clear, to convict a citizen of the offence charged. Upon the testimony, there is certainly room to doubt the guilt of the accused. The proof for ' him is stronger and more direct than the proof against him.
Judgment reversed.
