Davis v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals
Davis v. State, 38 Ga. App. 206 (1928)
143 S.E. 435; 1928 Ga. App. LEXIS 136
Broyles
Davis v. State
Opinion of the Court
A mere temporary loan of property, without hire or other benefit to the person lending, is not such a fiduciary bailment as would make the stealing or conversion of the property larceny after trust. Barksdale v. Slate, 28 Ga. App. 535 (112 S. E. 165).
Under the above-stated ruling and the facts of the instant case, the defendant’s conviction of larceny after trust was unauthorized, and the refusal to grant him a new trial was error.
Judgment reversed.
