Faieoloth, C. J.:

Thе dеfendant is indicted for obtaining gоods undеr fаlsе prеtеnces. He wаs cоnviсtеd ‍‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‍and he еnterеd a motiоn tо аrrеst thе judgmеnt, whiсh w^аs refused аnd hе appealed.

The indictment fails to charge that the goods were obtained “feloniously” and is ‍‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‍therefore fatally defective. This is so by reason of the Act of 1891, Ch. 205. State v. Bryan, 112 N. C., 848; State v. Caldwell, Ibid, 854, and authorities there cited.

Judgment Arrested,
