State v. . J. B. Bryan
Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided February 5, 1893 · PER CURIAM.
16 S.E. 909; 112 N.C. 848 (South Eastern Reporter)

State v. . J. B. Bryan

Opinion of the Court

The omission of the word "feloniously" in indictments (849) for obtaining goods by false pretense is, since the passage of Laws 1891, ch. 205, a fatal defect, as the Attorney-General admits. S. v. Skidmore, 109 N.C. 795. *Page 550

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.
