Taylor v. State , 35 Tex. 496 ( 1872 )

Walker, J.

There was no venue proven in this case, nor does the evidence show any fraudulent intent on the part of the appellant. So soon as he discovered that he had branded a colt which did not belong to him, he went to the owner, explained the circumstances, and bought and paid for the colt. No indictment should ever have been found against him.

The judgment of the district court is reversed and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
