Opinion of the Court

Candler, J.

1. .The act approved August 17, 1903 (Acts 1903, p. 46), is not applicable to a case made by an indictment charging acts of vagrancy on August 1, 1903.

2. Upon conviction of a person under such an indictment, the record failing to show the date of the return of the bill by the grand jury, a judgment sentencing the accused in accordance with the law as it was prior to the amendatory act was legal. Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
