Lashbrook v. Commonwealth

Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

Judge Hargis :

The only question involved in this case is whether the indictment states facts which constitute the public offense charged. The charge is that the appellant, who was tried and convicted, unlawfully passed a United States treasury note knowing the same to be counterfeit. The note is particularly described, and it is alleged that genuine *30United States treasury notes at the time of this offense were current in Kentucky; that such notes were issued by authority of law and current in Kentucky. This court judicially knows and it was not necessary to allege those facts more specifically than was done.

W. N. Sweeney & Son, Stuart & Atchison, for appellant. P. W. Hardin, for appellee.

Wherefore the judgment is affirmed.
