State v. Bryan

Supreme Court of North Carolina

Decided February 15, 1893PublishedCited by 2 opinions

INDICTMENT for false pretense, tried at Pall Term, 1.892, of CraveN Superior Court, before Shuford, J.

1Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam: The omission of the word “feloniously” in indictments for obtaining goods by false pretenses is, since the passage of the Act of 1891, ch. 205, a fatal defect, as the Attorney (General admits. State v. Skidmore, 109 N. C., 795.

It is not improper to say, however, in view of the contention of counsel, that there is more than a scintilla of evidence to support the charge, if preferred in the required form. Error.
