OPINION

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from a judgment for malicious prosecution in favor of appellee, Flora Bourne, against appellant. Two errors are assigned. The first questions the sufficiency of the complaint on the ground that the city court of Indianapolis in which appellee was prosecuted for petit larceny did not have jurisdiction to try and determine the case. The complaint is good as against this objection. § 8842 Burns 1914, Acts 1905. p. 236, § 216. Cottrell v. Cottrell (1890), 126 Ind. 181, 25 N.E. 905.

By the second assignment it is asserted that the court erred in sustaining appellee's motion to prosecute as a poor person, though a nonresident of the State. The question is settled adversely to appellant's contention by §§ 261, 616 Burns 1914, SZ 260, 589 R. S. 1881, as construed by the following decisions: Pittsburgh, etc., R. Co. v. Jacobs (1893), 8 Ind.App. 556, 36 N.E. 301; Fuller & Fuller Co. v. Mehl (1893), 134 Ind. 60, 33 N.E. 773.

Judgment affirmed.
