Note that it is essential that the victim of the false pretenses must actually be deceived by the misrepresentation, and the fact that the victim is deceived must be a major (if not the only) factor of the victim granting title to the defendant. Simply making a fase promise or statement is not sufficient.
False pretenses is distinguishable from larceny by trick in that larceny by trick simply uses a deception to deprive the owner of possession, not title.
