Williams v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided February 18, 1913 · Pottle
12 Ga. App. 364; 77 S.E. 183; 1913 Ga. App. LEXIS 571

Williams v. State

Opinion of the Court

Pottle, J.

Where one is charged with cruelty to animals, and it appears that during the time the cruel treatment took place the accused had the animals in three different counties, but it is not shown in which county the acts of cruelty were committed, the venue is not proved. A motion for a new trial, distinctly raising this question, should have been granted. Smith v. State, 69 Ga. 768. Judgment reversed.
