State v. Walker

Supreme Court of North Carolina
State v. Walker, 1 N.C. 229 (N.C. 1817)
Daniel, Hall, Ruffin, Seawell

State v. Walker

Opinion of the Court

Seawell, J.

The question for this Court is in suit-stance whether the State be entitled to any judgment upon the finding of the Jury ? The false making, or alteration of any written instrument whereby another may be prejudiced, with intent to deceive or defraud, by the common law constitutes a forgery; the indictment clearly contains such a charge ; and the Defendant being found guilty of every thing contained therein, there must be judgment for the State.

Hall, J. Daniel, J. and Ruffin, J. concurred.
