HONOLULU,

The gist Of this offence, say counsel is an
intent to prejudice and an intent to deceive, they
think does not necessarily show an intent to pre-
iudice or defraud. Perhaps one may falsely coun-
terfeit deed with intent to deceive, without pre-
dice but he cannot do that act fraudulenty and ie-
loniously, with intent TO deceive the rghtful heirs
Of the land pretended to be conveyed thereby, inre
gard to their rights of property, without actually
intending to harm or defraud them. Allegation of
false, fraudulent and felOnious counterfeting and
forging of deed of sale of land with the intent
to deceive the grantor's heirs in their rights of
property, necessarily includes and means an in
tention to prejudice those heirs. The counter
feiter of such deed could not be heard to say to
the heirs, 4" falsely, feloniously and frauduently
forged your ancestors deed of conveyance of this
land, intending thereby to deceive you concern
ing your rights therein, but without prejudice
to any one." In The King vs.. All Lou You,
Haw., it was held that allegation OF assaulting
public officer with intent to obstruct him in his
duty, was by necessity the same with an addi-
tiOnal averment Of knowledge that he was such
officer. This indictmen: sufficiently charges
criminal intent to injure the owners of the land.
