The Supreme Court held IN an opinion
handed down last week, that the section Of
the Penal Code making the obtaining of prop
erty by false and fraudulent representations"
crime, does not apply to one who obtains
real property by false and fraudulent repre-.
sentations. A certain Cummings was arrested
for having obtained two parcels of land by
false pretenses, and the trial Court sustained
the demurrer to the complaint on the ground
that no offense was charged. The Supreme
Court holds that the language of the code
''any money, goods, wares, merchandise or
other property''-infers property of that de-
scription;' and as real roperty is not the SUBJ
ject of larceny, obtaining real estate by false
pretenses is no offense under the code.
