Supreme Court of Alabama November 15, 1897 (Bryant v. State)

HARALSON, J.

At common law, larceny is considsidered as committed in every county or jurisdiction into which the goods may be carried by the thief. ‘ ‘The legal possession of them still remains-in the true owner, and every moment’s continuance of the trespass and felony amounts to a new caption and asportation.” — 2 Russsell on Crimes, 283.
