“Bussell Calvin, j Indictment for passing’ a
Sun Jones and ) counterfeit note to Reu-
Hfcnry James Howell I hen G. Taylor,
alias j
rJohn Bishop. J
Same, T Indictment for passing a
vs. J. counterfeit note to Ja-
Sarne. 3 C!, b p - Henry.
These highly interesting and important cases
came on to be tried during the last week. A
gentlema i who attended the trials and took a
note of the cases, has furnished the following
.particulars:—
The prisoner, Russell Calvin, >vas indicted for
having passed to Iteuhen G. Taylor on the 19th
Dec. 1821, a certain faise, forged and counterfeit
note, purporting to be a note of the Planter’s &
Mechanic’s Hank of South Carolina, an incorpo
lated hank whose notes or hills are in circulation
,n this state, knowing the same to be falsely and
. fraudulently forged and counterfeited; and the
prisoners Jones and HoWell were charged as ac
/ cssaries before the fact. The second indict
ment was as the first, hut charging the note to
!;ave been passed to Jacob P. Henry.
The 52d section of the Penal Code of Geor
gia, under which the prisoners were indicted, is
in the following words : —“lf any person shall
falsely ami fraudulently pass, pay or tender in
payment, utter or publish, any false, forged,
counterfeit or altered note, bill, check or draft
as aforesaid (referring to the 49th section) of any
bunk of this state, or the note or hill of any incor
porated bunk whose notes or hills are in circula
tion in this state, knowing the same to hare been
falsely and fraudulently forged, counterfeited or
altered, the person so offending shall upon con
viction be punished by imprisonment at hard la
bor, or in solitude, in the penitentiary, for any
time not exceeding ten yesrs.”
The first witness sworn was Samuel 11. Fisk,
who deposed in substance as follows :
That on the 19th Dec. 1821, he changed the
hill set out in the indictment f.r It. G. Taylor.—
That during tile iftyrnoon of the same day, hav
ing use for change, got Mr. Minton, of the firm
of Baker Si Minton, to change the bill. ‘ That he
delivered tne bill to Minton, saying he would
take, it hack the next morning. Minton put the
hill in a pocket-book and put the pocket-book in
an iron ctjfcst in witness’s presence. That he
heard something about counterfeit hills, which
caused him to suspect this bill to he one. Went
next morning to get the bill from. Minton. The
same bid was taken from the in
witness’s presence anil delivered to him by Mr.
Henry Baker. Witness then marked the bill and
gave it to the Solicitor-General.
diaries .Minton, sword lie cannot say he ev
er saw the bill produced to him. Does not know
Aby any mark. Received a Charleston bill from
Fisk on the evening prisoners were arrested. —
Does not think he could have received any other
hill. Does not believe there was any otherS.
Carolina lull in the pocket-book.
Hen, u linker, sworn. He does not recollect
ever seeing the particular bill presented to him,
bin remembers having given a hundred dollar
Chariesvon hVU to Mr. if ink about the time of pri
soners’ arrest. Does not recollect of any uiner
Charleston bill of SIOO having been received by
Baker & Minton within the last three months.—
Does not know that there was any other bill of
flint description in pocket-book.
Heitben (1. Taylor, sworn. Received a hill in
December last similar to the one presented to
him from Calvin, but does not know this to he
the same. Took it m payment of a mare, lie
-changed the hill with Fisk. Cshnot say it is the
one iie changed with Fisk. Has not changed any
otntr hundred dollar bill with Fisk.
Thur.us Malcom. sworn. He has been an offi
cer of the Planter's and Mechanic’s Hank of S-
Caroiin.a for several years. Says the bill exhibit
ed • ■ a Counterfeit, because the signature pur
posing to be is not the signature of .1. l.ukcns,
and from the difference in the plate. There is
some confusion in the margin of the spurious
hill which is not to be seen in tiie genuine bill.
T here is a greater clear space arimnd the word
Charleston in the margin of the good than the
spurious note. That no bills of one hundred dol
lars of this bank numbered higher than one hun
dred are in circulation, lie will not swear that
!he signatures of Gibbs and Blackwood are not
genuine, as he is not acquainted with their hands
—lie knows die signature of Lukcns to be
counterfeit, because Lukens always or generally
connects all the letters in his name by hair
stiokos, which connection is not to be found in
the spuribtts bill.
Ji.mrs .Morrison, Esq. sworn. First saw pris
oners in custody of city officers in Dec. 1821.
Prisoners were brought before him at police of
j’.ce for examination. Jones had nearly two thou
sand dollars in genuine tpottcy. Four thousand
dollars in genuine money was found on Howell,
nn lone Baltimore hill of §IOO, supposed to be
bad. Two thousand dollars were found on Cal
vin. Asked Jones if lie had any other baggage,
to which Jones replied no. The next day un
derstood prisoner had a portmanteau at Wash
ington Hall, where he boarded. Had prisoner
again Brought before him. Prisoner acknowledg
ed it and took out a bundle contifning good mo
'*Yicy to tint amount of eight or nine thousand dol
lars. in a stocking was found 3700 dollars in
bills of tho Planter’s and Mechanic’s Hank of $.
Carolina. Jones said the money was not his; it
was ;;V’ him by another person to be delivered
to a third. He sent one of the bills on <o the
Cashier of the Hank at Charleston, and was’ in
fo, met by letter from T. Blackwood, President,
that the hill was genuine, with the exception of
the alteration of the number. He found no
• Charleston money on Howell or Calvin. Howell
told witness lie was a negro purchaser and found
it to his convenience to get iw.nev currerft in
the different states through which he passed.—
Calvin said he had earned his money by his hon
c.t industry; that he had made it by cutting lum
ber o.; ihe river St. Lawrence. .That his money]
might be bad, but if so he did not know it; that
he was travelling .in quest of an uncle in the I
western country. Said he first met Howell and \
Jones in Georgetown, S. Carolina, from whence
t icy travelled in company to this place. After >
tv receipt of the letter of the 24th Dec. from!
Blackwood, Gibbs, the payee of the notes, came j
on. Witness pointed out to him the defect in
tle bills. Gibbs said they were genuine, and if
c . *d upon to s a ear, would say that they did
c .Main his signature and the signatures of l.u-
Kens a.d Blackwood. Witness believes the bills
to be counterfeit from a comparison with a gen
uine one. Witness referred to a second letter
and- riling the notes spurious. Witness says thei
mi's of Planter’s and Mechanic?s Bank of South-
Carolina were before and since the prosecution
.'n circulation in this state.
Charles A- II trains, sworn. Says the bills of
the Planter sand Mechanic’s Bank cf S. Citroii-!
na are in circulation in tills state. Says the bill 1
exhibited is counterfeit. Was present when
Jones’ portmanteau was examined.- It contained ‘
bills of Sopth-Carolina, Virginia and Orleans,
supposed to be spurious.
Jleuben JVewcomb, sworn. Says that on the
evening of the 18th Dec. last, Howell and Jones
came to his house for lodging. Was in bed.—
Did not see them till next morning at breakfast.
Calvin came to the house and inquired for Jones
and Howell. Sold Howell a horse for §2OO, for
which he paid genuine money. Howell was a
bout to leave town when he was arrested. Can
not say that Calvin ever saw Howell and Jones at
his house. Never saw them together. Howell
and Jones occupied different rooms. Saddle -
hags were found in Jones’ room. Saw them o
pened at the Police-office. Howell was going
to leave town alone. Had no reason tb suspect
that he was in possession of counterfeit money.
Thomas S. Luther, sworn. Knows that the
bills of Planter’s and Mechanic ’s Bank of Sonth-
Carolina circulate here. He has received and
paid them away.
The next evidence offered was the acts of in
corporation of the Planter’s ar.d Mechanic’s
Bank. The first was dated 20th Dec. 1810, and
the second 21st Dec. 1811. The act oi 1810
provides that the bank shall not be entitled to
the charter unless it shall by the first day of No- -
vember next ensuing transfer to tile treasurer of ‘
tile lower division, eight hundred shares for the
use of the state. 1
Here the testimony on the part of the prose
cution closed. . !
In the first case, but one Counsel on each side j
addressed the Jury.
LeviS ll’Lyon, in behalf ofthe prisoners, con
tended that the prisoners were entitled to an ac
quittal upon three grounds—
-Ist. Tnat inasmuch as a daceitful and fraudu
lent intent, arc of the essence of the crime of
forgery, and necessary to be alledged in an in
dictment for that offence: they are also indis
pensible in an indictment charging the passing,
uttering and tendering in payment of a forged
note, m
2d. That the indictment docs not allege the
note said to have been passed, uttered and ten
dered in payment as and for a true and genuine
note, *
3d. That the act to amend the penal code of
this state under which the prisoner is indicted or i
so milch thereof as relates to the charge set i
forth in the indictment is inconsistent, repugnant
and therefore void.
lit support ofthe first ground Mr. D’Ljron re- i
ferred to the following authorities: I

With what intent the act must be done. Laws’]
of Geo. ISB7, p.'lll, 112. 2 East. 854- jl
The intent to defraud must be stated in the]
indictment and pointed at the particular person 1
or persons against whom it is meditated, and the j
proof must tally with such averment or the pris
oner will be entitled to an acquital. 2 East. G. i
L. 988. ],

—II. Powell’s case.
Description to a common intent of the person
intended to be defrauded. Lcar.h : C. L. 239
Lavetl’s.case.
In order to make forgery felony, it is necessa
ry that it should be done mala fide with intention
to defraud some person, and this intention is
supported by the British cases. The intention
constitutes the crime. 1 Hays Rep. 155.
Uttering a false iustru nent with intent to de
fraud, is the pveeiie offence the laws against for
gery arm to suppress. 2 McNatty 48Z. 2 Mc-
Nally 494.
Intent to defraud, essential to the offence,must
be laid m the indictment and strictly proved in!
evidence. 3 Chittv’s Criminal Law, p. 469. 2
Russell on Crimes, 1491, 1501. 2 Massachusetts
Term Reports, i‘2B—Commonwealth vs. Jesse
Morse.
The 47th section of the Penal Code declares
that the uttering must he done with an intent to
defraud some person or persons; and it is conten
ded that every subsequent section under the
same division does necessarily reter to tlieir ante
cedent. That the statute does use the words as
descriptive of the offence, and that it should
have been strictly pursued.
2d ground. To pronounce or publish, says
Lord Coke, is when one by words or writing
I pronounceth the instrument to any other as true.
3 Inst. 371, cited in East. C. L. 972.
If the offence consists in pronouncing the in
strument as true, such pronouncing- as true, is a
material and necessary allegation in the indict
ment, and cannot be supplied by evidence alone.
In a criminal case neither the Court nor the
Jury can supply the place of a necessary aver
ment, by implication or intendment. 2 Hawk.
P. C. p. 323, sec. 60. It must he shewn on the
face ofthe record that the case is within the stat
ute on which it it- framed, or it will not suffice to
prove it ever so clearly in evidence. 3 Chittv’s
Crim. Law, 468.
od ground. The 52d section of the Penal
Code of Georgia is in subs’ ance precisely anala
gous to the act of Congress ofthe U. S. passed
in 1798, to punish frauds committed on the bank
ofthe U.S.
The case of U. S. vs. Cantril, 4th Cranch, 167,!
is in point, and shews the opinion ofCliief Justice
Marshall againstthe act of ongj-ess of 1798.
The 52d section of the PenalCocle is inconsis
tent and absurd, because no note of a bank of
this State or any bank whose notes are in circula
tion in this state can he forged, and if it isforged
it cannot he of such bank.
In this case a distinction will he attempted to
be drawn between the words of the act of Con
gress and the words of the 52d section of the
statute of Georgia. The words ofthe act of Con
gress of 1798 are— any bill issued by the U. S.
bank, signed by the President and countersigned
by the Cashier thereof.
These precise words are not contained in the
statute of Georgia, but I contend that if the bill
be of the bank as written in the 52d section, it
must follow that it possesses all the attributes of
a bill issued bv the bank, signed and counter
signed by the President and Cashier thereof, Be
cause no hank issues bills in any other manner.
Os the hank, l contend means issued by the bank,
j signed hv the President and countersigned by
j the Cashier thereof. The Congress ofthe U. S.
j I think in 1807 amended tlie act by using the
| woid-s purporting to be, and all the subsequent
: acts of the U. S. relative to Treasury notes re
j cognize the inconsistedcy and absurdity of the
: act of Congress of 1798.’
I . - .
It- W. Habersham, Ksq. for the prosecution,
then addressed the Jury, and cited the following
authorities—Leach, C. L. 311, in notes, 983, 985,
937—2 Hawk. P C. 445- -Leach, C.L. 1096, 978

The Court in its charge to the Jury, overruled
all the grounds submitted by the prisoners coun
sel, and a verdict of Guilty was returned against
them. The following day a second Jury was im
pannellcd to try the second indictment.
hVm. \V. Gordon, Esq. for prisoners, conten
ded—
-Ist.—That the indictment was defective for!
want of an averment of intent to defraud.
2d.— That the 52d section of the Penal Code•
of Georgia was inconsistent, repugnant, an',
therefore void. In support in these ground*
cited 2 East C. L. 991. Russell on Crime* 44
91 2 Fast C. L. 988. Russell on Crimes, 14 71.

vs. Zebulon Cantril. . , „ ,
James M. Wayne, Esq. for prisoners, followed
W. W. Gordon, Esq. and adverted to the grounds
which he urged, and added the following:
Ist. —That the accused arc not caarged in the
language of
2d.—That the 52d section of thp Penal Code)
applies only to such bills as were in circulation j
at the time of its passage and no others. j
3d.—That by the Penal Code of Georgia the ]
prisoners, Jones ami Howell, should hate becnj
charged as principals in the 2d degree.
It. 11. Wilde, Esq for prisoners, continued
Ist.—That the Planners' and mechanics Bank
of South-Carolina is not incorporated, because
its incorporation is dependent upon a condit ion
precedent, the proof of which was not offered to
the jury. ,
2d. That tho state of South-Carobna cannot
emit bill* of credit, such an act being in viola
tion of the constitution ofthe U. S.
The writer was not present when Wm. Davies,
Esq. addressed the jury’, on the part of the state.
The conclucion was made by the Solicitor Gen
eral, the whole of whose argument the writer
did not hear.
Judge Charlton charged the jury upon the law,
in substance as follows:
Upon the first point—ls the Statute does not
contain the words with intent to defraud, &c. it
is not necessary’ that they should be stated ill the
indictment. The act under which the prisoners
are indicted does not contain these words.
The 52d section ofthe Penal Code ought to
be taken in connection with the 49th, and not
the 47th section. It was the intention of the
Legislature to create a distinction between for
gery and counterfeiting.
In reference to the Statute, it does not appear
necessary to state the intent to defraud.
2d objection.—The court said this was a for
midable objection. By contrasting the law ot
Georgia with an act of Congress of 1795, it will
appear that the word counterfeit does not involve
the absurdity contained in the U. S. Statute.
The words of the Statute mean a counterfeit
note, resembling a note of a Bank in this state,
or the note of a Bank whose notes are in circula
tion in this state.
The word purporting is not an explicative
term —It is like an imtendo. The word purport
ing in forgery, takes the place of an inuendo in a
libel. Certe's 2 R :ssell ou crimes, Jones’ case.
The word purporting in an indictment only
means, that the instrument looks like or resem
bles a genuine one.
The words “passing a counterfeit note,” in
the Penal Code, mean a note purporting to be a
genuine note.
Here the court regretted it had not more time
to consider of this objection, as it felt great
doubt.
3d.—The words ofthe Statute not pursued.
Between the words counterfeit, or altered,
there is a disjunctive.
This section ofthe Code may he so dissected
as to make it applicable to every count.
You may distribute the accusation into a varie
ty of counts, and take the counts together, the
words of the Statutes are pursued.
It feels no hesitancy upon this point, if it does
upon others.
, 4th.—Prisoners pot charged as principals in]
2d degree. Whether using the word advise!
IdovM not. char&o tire defendant* ** principals in I
the 2d degree. The court thinks it conclusive
!y docs.
: sth. —The act of incorporation violative of the
constitution U. S.
This question has not been agitated in any
court .in the United States. The court is not
bound to give an opinion. It is more a matter,
of political arrangement among the different
states, than of judicial investigation.
Whether the word are, as used in the Statute
as applicable to bills in circulation in this state,
was intended to have a prospective operation
It is enough for the purpose of the court, in an
jsweriiig the objection to say, that the Planters’
and Mechanics’ Bank of South-Carolina was in
! operation at the time of the passage of the law
•upon which the prisoners are indicted.
The prisoners Jones and Howell are not guil
ty, because it has not been proved that the of
fence-was committed in the county of Chatham.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against
Russell Calvin and Samuel Jones, and Not Guilty
! as to Henry James Howell.
Motions in arrest of judgment and for new tri
, als have been submitted to the court. No opin
ion has yet been expressed thereon by the court.
I The foregoing notes of the trial of Russell
j Calvin and others, were taken for my amuse
jment; if you deem them in any way interesting,
you are at liberty to use them as you please.
