6138 | Ga. Ct. App. | Mar 23, 1915
“The venue of a prosecution under the labor-contract act (Penal Code of 1910, §§ 715, 716) is in the county where the advances were received.” Lewis v. State, 15 Ga. App. 405 (83 S.E. 439" date_filed="1914-11-17" court="Ga. Ct. App." case_name="Lewis v. State">83 S. E. 439, 440); Dyas v. State, 126 Ga. 556 (55 S.E. 488" date_filed="1906-11-07" court="Ga." case_name="Dyas v. State">55 S. E. 488). Since there was no proof of venue in the present case, and the particular point was specifically raised in the motion for a new trial (Acts 1911, pp. 149, 150), the court erred in overruling the motion for a new trial.
Judgment reversed.
