Syllabus

<p>1—See this case for an indictment held sufficient in a prosecution for the forgery of a note payable in trade.</p> <p>3—It is not necessary that the indictment should contain averments showing how the false instrument would, if true, create, increase, diminish, discharge, or defeat any pecuniary obligation; or would transfer or affect any property whatever. These are deductions of law, not necessary to he averred.</p> <p>3— The fact that no internal revenue stamp was affixed to the instrument alleged to be forged, is immaterial. The crime is not incomplete because no stamp has been affixed.</p> <p>4— See this case for evidence held to be inconclusive of the guilt of the accused.</p>
