On error to the Supreme Court, on affirmance of a conviction in the Hudson Quarter Sessions. The opinion of the Supreme Court is reported ante ¶. 192.
1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
Collins, J.
The indictment in this case was for obtaining money by false pretence. It alleged that the defendant, in order to induce a contract of purchase of certain land by one John McGrath, did, on February 7th, 1894, represent that he owned the land unencumbered; and, afterward, in order to induce the payment of an installment of the purchase-price, did, on March 7th, 1898, falsely pretend that the title was still unencumbered, when, in fact, such title was then encumbered by a mortgage that he had given shortly after the making of the contract.
