18847.
    Davis v. The State.
    Decided May 15, 1928.
    
      E. E. Goodrum, for plaintiff in error.
    
      Roy TP. Moore, solicitor, contra.
   Broyles, C. J.

A mere temporary loan of property, without hire or other benefit to the person lending, is not such a fiduciary bailment as would make the stealing or conversion of the property larceny after trust. Barksdale v. Slate, 28 Ga. App. 535 (112 S. E. 165).

Under the above-stated ruling and the facts of the instant case, the defendant’s conviction of larceny after trust was unauthorized, and the refusal to grant him a new trial was error.

Judgment reversed.

Luke and Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
