(Ga. L. 1918, p. 262, § 1; Code 1933, § 67-9902.)
- Ga. L. 1962, p. 156, § 1, provides that any provision of Code Sections 44-14-1, 44-14-2, 44-14-4, 44-14-7 through 44-14-12, 44-14-100, and 44-14-160, and Arts. 2 and 3, Ch. 14, of this title which conflicts with T. 11 shall yield to and be superseded by T. 11. See Code Section 11-10-103.
Criminal statutes must be construed strictly. Waldroup v. State, 198 Ga. 144, 30 S.E.2d 896, answer conformed to, 71 Ga. App. 550, 31 S.E.2d 463 (1944).
- Where one holds personal property under a conditional contract of purchase and sale, and where, by the terms of the purchase, the title to the property is retained by the vendor until the purchase price is paid, the property, under such facts, is covered by a "lien" within the meaning of the word as employed in O.C.G.A. § 44-14-8. Waldroup v. State, 198 Ga. 144, 30 S.E.2d 896, answer conformed to, 71 Ga. App. 550, 31 S.E.2d 463 (1944).
- Though a day and year must be alleged in every indictment, time is not material, and a day different from the one laid may generally be proved, provided it is within the period prescribed by the statute of limitations. Nelson v. State, 51 Ga. App. 207, 180 S.E. 16 (1935).
Verdict under O.C.G.A. § 44-14-8 is not contrary to law and without evidence to support it merely because the crime was alleged to have been committed upon the date of the execution of the retention of title contract, while the proof showed that the offense was committed at a subsequent date prior to the filing of the accusation and within the period of the statute of limitations. Nelson v. State, 51 Ga. App. 207, 180 S.E. 16 (1935).
- Where fraud is alleged, a wide range is given in proof of circumstances tending to establish it, it being generally a matter of secrecy, and it is often only by collecting together numerous circumstances that it can be brought to light and exposed. Nelson v. State, 51 Ga. App. 207, 180 S.E. 16 (1935).
