HAWKINS, Presiding Judge.

Appellant was charged with the theft of property of value ‍‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‍more than fifty dollars. He entered a plea of guilty before a jury which found him guilty as “charged in the indictment,” and ‍‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‍assessed his punishment at two years in the penitentiary.

*535Evidently by inadvertence he was adjudged to be guilty of “burglary,” and the sentence is ‍‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‍likewise erroneous in that respect. Appellant was not charged with burglary at all.

The judgment will be reformed to show that appellant was ‍‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‍adjudged to be guilty of the theft of property of more than the value of fifty dollars, and the sentence will be reformed ‍‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‍to follow the corrected judgment. As thus reformed, the judgment is affirmed.
