Per Curiam.

The omission of ‍​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‍the word “feloniously” in indictments (849) for obtaining goods by false pretense is, since the passage ‍​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‍of Laws 1891, ch. 205, a fatal defect, as the Attorney-General admits. S. v. Skidmore, 109 N.C. 795.

It ‍​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‍is not improper to say, however, in view of the contention of counsel, that there is more ‍​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‍than a scintilla of evidence to support the charge, if preferred in the required form.

ERROR.
