OPINION
BURNETT, Judge
The defendant was indicted for the alleged conversion to his own use, whilst bailee, of a quit-claim-deed made and executed by Thomas J. Alsbury to defendant. The defendant demurred; the demurrer was overruled, and the defendant appealed.
The demurrer should have been sustained. The deed having been " made and executed," as alleged in the indictment, by Alsbury to Mackinley, was the property of the latter, and could not be stolen by him.
Judgment reversed, and cause remanded.
