Grant, J.

The gist of the crime charged in the information is that the respondent “did designedly falsely represent and pretend to said Robert B. Shank that he, thé said Cornelius Lennox, had received from one Walter A. Newton a subscription of $10, with payment in full thereon by said Walter A. Newton,” whereas the said Walter A. Newton had not subscribed nor paid him.
