State v. Acton
Supreme Court of New Jersey · Decided April 27, 1933 · PER CURIAM.
166 A. 156; 110 N.J.L. 449; 1933 N.J. LEXIS 518

State v. Acton

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The judgment of the Supreme Court, reversing the conviction of the defendant below, on the first ground assigned therefor by the Supreme Court “that the proofs submitted *450 failed to disclose the crime charged against the defendant in the indictment, namely, that he feloniously embezzled and converted to his own use moneys belonging to the United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company and committed, to his care as president and manager of Charles P. Acton, Incorporated,” should be affirmed upon that ground.

The court being of opinion that the second ground upon which reversal was based was not necessary to a decision of the case, and that that question should have been reserved for decision in a ease where it is essential to a determination of the appeal, the vote for affirmance does not include agreement with the second reason assigned by the Supreme Court for reversal.

The judgment is affirmed.

For affirmance — The Chancellor, Chief Justice, Teen-chard, Lloyd, Bodine, Donges, Heher, Van Buskibic, Kays, Hetfield, Dear, Wells, Dill, JJ. 13.

For reversal — None.
