822. Sufficiency of averment as to bank-note or note described as money
In every indictment in which it is necessary to make averment as to any money or bank-note, it is sufficient to describe the money or bank-note simply as money, without specifying any particular note, or bank-note, and an allegation, so far as it concerns the description of the property, shall be sustained—
-
(a) by proof of any amount of note or of any bank- note, although the particular species of note of which the amount was composed, or the particular nature of the bank- notes shall not be proved;
-
(b) in the case of money or bank-note obtained by false pretences or by any other unlawful act, by proof that the offender obtained any note or bank-note, or any portion of its value although such note or bank- note may have been delivered to him or her in order that part of its value should be returned to the party who delivered it, or, to any other person, and that part has been returned accordingly.
