Hawkins v. State
17 Ga. App. 315
Ga. Ct. App.1915Check Treatment1. Prima facie the term “recently” imports reference to a transaction in the immediate past. Consequently, proof that a store was recently burglarized must, in the absence of any further inquiry, or any other testimony upon that point, be held to refer to a point of time within four years, the period within which prosecutions for burglary must be instituted.
2. The evidence authorized the verdict, and there was no error in overruling the motion for a new trial. Judgment affirmed.
