Vickers v. State
189 S.E. 377
Ga. Ct. App.
1937
Check Treatment
Broyles, C. J.

The defendant was convicted of burglary. The evidence, while disclosing that he broke into the dwelling-house of the prosecutor, was insufficient to show that the breaking was done with intent to commit a felony or larceny. Under a proper indictment or accusation, the evidence would have authorized a conviction of being in an intoxicated condition within such dwelling-house. The verdict was unauthorized by the evidence, and the refusal to grant a new trial was error. Judgment reversed.

MacIntyre and Guerry, JJ., concur.
