Allegations in indictment as to money or securities stolen
9 Allegations in indictment as to money or securities stolen
In an indictment—
for stealing, taking, receiving, or embezzling any money or valuable security, or
for misappropriating, or fraudulently applying or disposing of, any money or valuable security, or
for obtaining any money or valuable security by any threat or false pretence, or partly by a false pretence and partly by a wilfully false promise,
it is sufficient to describe the property as a “certain amount of money” or a “certain valuable security”, without specifying any particular kind of money or security.
Such a description may be sustained by proof of the stealing, taking, receiving, embezzling, appropriating, disposal or obtaining of any money or valuable security—
even if some part of its value was agreed to be, or was in fact, returned, and
even if, as regards money, the particular kind of money is not proved or provable.
