The jury returned a verdict finding the defendant guilty of petit larceny under an information charging him with grand larceny. The information charged, and defendant pleaded guilty to, two prior convictions of petit larceny, and the court upon the return of the verdict sentenced him to imprisonment in the state prison for five years. This appeal is from the judgment on the judgment-roll with no bill of exceptions. No brief has been filed by appellant, and the sole point made in the oral argument is the claim that the verdict of petit larceny is not responsive to the issue made by the information and the plea of not guilty.
There is no merit in the contention. The jury had the right to find the defendant guilty of any offense the commission of which is necessarily included in that with which he is charged. (Pen. Code, sec. 1159; People v. Huntington,
The judgment is affirmed.
