Syllabus

<p>False Personation on Another.—The offense, defined in Article 450 of the Penal Oode, of falsely personating another and authenticating a conveyance for registration (Paso. Dig., Art. 2112), is nearly allied to forgery, and indictments for the former offense should he framed with an equal degree of certainty and particularity as is required in indictments for the latter. For instance, the falsely authenticated instrument should he set out, or cause be shown for not setting it out; the property to be affected by it should be sufficiently described; the purpose of the acknowledgment should be averred, and the authority of the accused.to make it should be-negatived. See this case for an indictment held insufficient in these-respects.</p>
