Luke, J.

Where an indictment charges the accused with having driven an automobile along a ‍​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‍named street at a rate of speed greater than thirty miles an hour, the evidence must show that it was along that street that the automobile was ‍​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‍so driven, before a conviction would be authorized.’ It will not suffice to show that the automobile was driven on another street and at a different place than ‍​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‍that which is alleged in the indictment. The particular public highway or street on which the accused was alleged to have driven his automobile in violation of ‍​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‍law was alleged in the indictment. The evidence failed to show this allegation to be- true. It was, therefore, error to overrule the motion for a new ‍​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‍trial. See Burkes v. State, 7 Ga. App. 39 (65 S. E. 1091).

Judgment reversed.
