1. ““To constitute the offense of false pretense, it is enough if a material part of the pretense is false; that it be made with the intent to defraud, and that it induces the person sought to be wronged to part with his property, and there are proper inquiries for the jury under appropriate instructions from the Court. Wilkerson v. State, 140 Ala. 155 , 36 So. 1004 .””
