词汇 | FORGERY2 |
释义 | `1`FORGERY2 `2` "Legal Lexicon": The intent must be to defraud another, but it is not requisite that any one should have been injured. It is sufficient that the instrument forged might have proved prejudicial. It has been holden that the jury ought to infer an intent to defraud the person who would have to pay the instrument if it were genuine, although from the manner of executing the forgery or from the person's ordinary caution, it would not be likely to impose upon him; and although the object was general to defraud whoever might take the instrument and the intention of the defrauding in particular, the person who would have to pay the instrument if genuine, did not enter into the contemplation of the prisoner. Most states have passed laws making certain acts to be forgery and Congress has also enacted several on this subject. The term forgery, is also applied to the making of false or counterfeit coin. --b-- There's probably related stuff in other Library areas, so explore. |
