Opinion

[294]*294 By the Court

Jenkins, J.,

delivering the opinion.

The question upon which this ease turns, as stated in the second exception, was decided after careful consideration at our recent sitting in Macon.

The statute under which this indictment was framed, like all other statutes, .must receive a reasonable construction. We are not satisfied with the construction given to it in the charge of the Court below, and have embodied our own in the judgment of reversal.

Judgment reversed.
