Jurisdiction.</p> <p>Where one removed cotton upon which there was a landlords lien from one county into another and sold same without informing the purchaser thereof of such lien, the crime of false pretenses was committed in the county in which the cotton was sold, hence an indictment under section 1168, Code 1906, in his home county for obtaining money by false pretenses should be quashed for want of jurisdiction. ' ■</p> <p>2. Criminal Law. Section 1406, Code 1906. Venue.</p> <p>Where an offense is committed partly in one county and partly in another, either county shall have jurisdiction where prosecution shall be first begun.</p>
