18 S.E.2d 642 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1942
The indictment sufficiently charged the defendant with the crime of bastardy to withstand the general demurrer, and there is no merit in the contention that the indictment did not charge that the accused was required to give bond in terms of the law. The judge properly overruled the demurrer. McCalman v. State,
The essential elements of the statutory offense here charged (Code, § 74-9901) are: being the father of a bastard child, and refusing to give security for its maintenance and education and the lying in of the mother when required so to do in terms of the law. Sullivan v. State,
Judgment affirmed. Broyles, C. J., and Gardner, J., concur.
