Hill, C. J.
This being an accusation of larceny after trust, under the Penal Code (1910), § 192 or § 194, in which there was no allegation as to the ownership of the property alleged to have been entrusted to and converted by the 'accused, a demurrer to the indictment because of this omission should have been sustained. Norfleet v. State, 9 Ga App. 853 (72 S. E. 447). Judgment reversed.
