Opinion of the Court — Pottle

Text extracted by OCR from a scanned original; check the original for exact wording.

Pottle, J.

1. No contract “clear and definite in its terms” having been shown, the evidence was not sufficient to authorize a conviction of cheating and swindling, under the act approved August 15, 1903 (Acts 1903, p. 90). Saunders v. State, 7 Ga. App. 46 ( 65 S. E. 1071 ).

2. Even if the evidence was sufficient in other respects, the contract was too indefinite as to the character of the work to be performed.

Judgment reversed.
