The opinion of the court was delivered by CARTON, P.J.A.D.
This appeal primarily involves the issue of whether, as a prerequisite to conviction under N.J.S.A. 2A:93-6, the State must show that the person charged with giving or receiving money or other thing of value as a bribe was a public official at the time of the offense. Defendant contends that this question must be answered in the affirmative and, consequently, his conviction must be reversed.
