Opinion
The defendant went to B, who had sold a parcel of cigars to C, and pretended that C had sent for a box of them; upon which B delivered a box to the defendant, who sold it, and gave a false account of the manner in which he had obtained it. The Court, (nem. con.) was of opinion that it was not larceny. See Chitty, 907 ; 2 Russell, 118 and Roscoe, 493.
