By means of numerous exceptions directed to tbe admission of evidence in certain instances, to tbe rejection of evidence in others, to tbe refusal to grant motions for judgment as of nonsuit, to various portions of tbe charge as given by tbe court, and to tbe failure of the court to charge as required by law, the defendants painstakingly direct an extensive and exhaustive search for error. However, after scanning every part of the record of the trial to which the exceptions relate, we are unable to find any prejudicial error. There is evidence, both direct and circumstantial, tending to support the charge of larceny and to connect the defendants with it, either as principals or as aiders and abettors. The case appears to have been tried and presented to the jury in substantial accord with well settled principles of law. And it does not appear that any request was made for more elaborate instruction. Hence, a discussion of the exceptions seriatim would serve no useful purpose.

In the judgment below, we find

No error.
