Mr. Jenkin submitted that no jury would convict the defendant of doing what he was alleged to have done with any intention to defraud anybody. There could be no forgery if a person was in an innocent state of mind and he sub- mitted that the defendant was in that state of mind. At the time of the uttering there was an agree- meat between the defendant and the family by which he had full permission to mortgage the shares.
His Worship agreed that there was no intention of defrauding the family of the deceased.
Continuing Mr. Jenkin said that there was no question of wanting to defraud the Revenue.
