Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Mar 6, 1931
231 App. Div. 622 (N.Y. App. Div. 1931)

Opinion

March 6, 1931.

Appeal from Court of Special Sessions of the City of New York, County of New York.

William T. Andrews, for the appellant.

Edward V. Loughlin, Deputy Assistant District Attorney, of counsel [ Thomas C.T. Crain, District Attorney], for the respondent.

Present — FINCH, McAVOY, MARTIN and O'MALLEY, JJ.


This judgment should be reversed and the information dismissed, because the proof, while establishing prima facie an intent to defraud, under the statute, by showing the uttering of the check when funds were not on deposit in the depositary, was overcome and rebutted by the circumstances proven in the defense, which established, against the presumption, a lack of any intent to defraud by the issuance of the check.


Judgment reversed and the information dismissed.
