IRELAND
v.
PEOPLE.

Court of Appeals of Colorado

October 12, 1891

Error
to district court, Weld county; T.M. ROBINSON, Judge.

W.W.
Cooke, for plaintiff in error.

The
Attorney General, for the People.

[1
Colo.App. 127] RICHMOND, P.J.

The
plaintiff in error, Ireland, was, by the grand jury of the
eighth judicial district, charged by indictment with the
crime of grand larceny. The cause came on for trial, and
resulted in a verdict of guilty. Motion to set aside the
verdict and for a new trial was duly interposed, but the
court denied the motion, and gave judgment upon the verdict.
Numerous errors are assigned, but we deem it unnecessary to
consider any of them save and except the second, which is to
the effect that the verdict of the jury is not supported by
the evidence in this case. We have carefully reviewed all of
the testimony, and reached the conclusion that the verdict
was unwarranted by the evidence, and that the court erred in
refusing to set aside the verdict and grant a new trial. In
view of the fact that the attorney general, who represents
the people in this case, has filed in this court a statement
to the effect that he will file no briefs or argument in the
cause, and does not urge an affirmance of the judgment
rendered, it would be superfluous for us to extend the
opinion by reference to the testimony submitted at the trial.
The judgment must be reversed, and the cause remanded.
