required to contain the names of the parties, the jurisdiction, and such other information as is necessary to place the party on notice of the exact crime with which he is charged. Among other things, the second rule contains the following: "A statement of the acts constituting the offense in ordinary and concise language and in such a manner as to enable a person of common understanding to know what is intended." Take the case before us, and it is very easily understood that the information intends to charge the prisoner with being present at apd engaging in the commission of the crime of larceny; and, on the other hand, it would be very difficult to understand from this information that it was intended to assert, or to put him on notice, that he was charged with having received these stolen goods after they had been stolen. It seems therefore, clear that the rules laid down simply and only mean to assert that the information shall contain a sufficient statement of the crime alleged, with dates, names, etc., as to indicate clearly to the defendant the charge made against him so that he may properly answer the same. Should an information contain this, under the rules it would seem sufficient. Should it fail to do this, it seems that it would be defective. The crime of larceny and that of receiving being each substantive offenses, no conviction can be had for the one on a charge of the other; yet, as before stated, it is perfectly admissible in the information to have a count for larceny and a separate one for receiving stolen goods. The contention of the parties that there was a variance between the charge and the verdict of the court is, in our opinion, well taken.
It is therefore ordered by the Court that the judgment rendered in the Third Judicial Circuit in the above entitled cause be reversed and a new trial granted, and this opinion will be certified to the court below in order that proceedings may be. had in accordance therewith.
The CHIEF JUSTICE concurred.
Reversed and remanded.
