CHAPTER XXIII.-FRAUD.
229.—Definition of false Pretence.
A false pretence is a representation, either by words or otherwise, of a matter of fact, either present or past, which representation is in fact false, and is known to be so by the person making it, and which is made with a fraudulent intent to induce any person, whether a particular person or not, to act upon such representation.
Exaggerated commendation or depreciation of the quality of anything is not a false pretence unless it is carried to such an extent as to amount to a fraudulent misrepresentation of fact, and whether this is so is a question of fact.
230. Obtaining by false Pretences.
Any person who, by any false pretence, and with intent to defraud, obtains anything capable of being stolen, or causes or procures any other person to deliver to any person any such thing, is guilty of felony if it is felony to steal such thing; and otherwise is guilty of a misdemeanour.
He is also guilty of a simple offence if the value of the thing obtained is less than £5.
It is no defence to the charge under this section that the thing: was obtained, or its delivery caused or procurel, through the medium of a contract, if the contract 'was induced by the false pretence.
231.--Obtaining Execution of a valuable Security by a false
Pretence.
Any person who, by any false pretence and with intent to defraud, causes or induces any person to execute, make, accept, endorse, alter, or destroy the whole or any part of any valuable security, or to write, impress, or affix any name or seal on any paper or parchment in order that it may afterwards be made, or converted into, or used, or dealt with as a valuable security, is guilty of felony.
232.-Obtaining Credit fraudulently.
Any person who, in incurring any debt or liability, obtains credit by means of any fraud, though the fraud does not amount
c. 62, s. 13. to a false pretence, is guilty of a misdemeanour. He is also guilty of a simple offence if the total amount for which he obtains credit does not exceed £3.
