Shepley, C. J., orally.—The request to the Judge assumed that, if certain acts would support a charge for larceny, they could not support an indictment for malicious mischief. But there is no such principle of law. This court has recently decided that-acts, which might have supported an indictment for arson, would support a charge for malicious mischief. The instruction requested was properly refused.

UpLaw has not yet analyzed State v. Leavitt. The absence of a flag is not a finding that it is good law.
