73 A. 929 | N.H. | 1909
To sustain a conviction of the crime of forgery, as in other crimes, it should appear that it was committed in the county where the offence is laid; and according to the weight of authority, proof of the fact is sufficiently made out to entitle the state to go to the jury, if nothing further appears than that the person charged with the offence is shown to have uttered the forged instrument in the county where the indictment is found. Spencer v. Commonwealth, 2 Leigh 815; State v. Poindexter,
As it is conceded that the defendant forged the order and uttered it at Lancaster in the county of Coos, there was sufficient evidence from which it could be found that the crime of forgery was there committed, and this irrespective of the fact whether there was or was not other evidence tending to disprove such a conclusion.
Exception overruled.
All concurred.
