Punishment not otherwise punishable under this Ordinance, or under any other enactment relating to forgery or any kindred offence for the time being in force, it shall not be necessary to prove an intent to defraud or deceive any particular person; and it shall be sufficient to prove that the defendant did the act charged with intent to defraud or to deceive, as the case may require.
(3) If any person who is a member of any co-partnership, or is one of two or more beneficial owners of any property, forges any document, matter or thing with intent to defraud the co-partnership or the other beneficial owners, he is liable to be dealt with, indicted, tried and punished as if he had not been or was not a member of the co-partnership, nor one of such beneficial owners.
17.-(1) Where an offence against this Ordinance also by virtue of some other enactment subjects the offender to any forfeiture or disqualification, or to any penalty other than imprisonment or fine, the liability of the offender to punishment under this Ordinance shall be in addition to and not in substitution for his liability under such other enactment.
(2) Where an offence against this Ordinance is also an offence under the terms of any other Ordinance, whether passed before or after the commencement of this Ordinance, proceedings may be taken either under such other Ordinance or under this Ordinance.
18. Every felony punishable in England under section 48 of the Act 24 and 25 Victoria, chapter 98, shall, if committed in this Colony and not otherwise punishable under this or any other Ordinance for the time being in force, be punishable with imprisonment for life.
