“Where household articles were stolen by domestic servant within very short space of time, during brief absence of owner, and there was no proof, except that of the servant herself, that the articles were taken at different times, it was court’s duty, upon giving instruction permitting jury to separate offense into separate units, so as to reduce grade of crime, to charge jury that, if goods were taken pursuant to a single impulse, there was but one crime.” West v. Com., 125 Va. 747, 99 S.E. 654 Va. 1919.
