—Decided October 29, 1903.
Indictment for vagrancy. Before Judge Evans. Taliaferro superior court. August term, 1903.
Hawes Cloud and Colley & Sims, for plaintiff in error.
D. W. Meadow, solicitor-general, contra.

Opinion:
Candler, J.
1. .The act approved August 17, 1903 (Acts 1903, p. 46), is not applicable to a case made by an indictment charging acts of vagrancy on August 1, 1903.
2. Upon conviction of a person under such an indictment, the record failing to show the date of the return of the bill by the grand jury, a judgment sentencing the accused in accordance with the law as it was prior to the amendatory act was legal. Judgment affirmed.
All the Justices concur.
