45o GeorgII III. Cap. 72. 1165

Offences, shall be deemed guilty of Felony, and should suffer Death as
a Felon without Benefit of Clergy: And whereas by a certain Act of
Parliament, made and passed in the Ninth Year of the Reign of His present
Majesty, intituled, An Act for repealing so much of an Act, passed in
the Tenth Year of Her late Majesty Queen Anne, as relates to the Harbour 45 Moorings of the Royal Navy, and for the more effectual Preservation of
such Harbour, Moorings; and Punishment of Persons guilty of stealing or
embezzling His Majesty's Nuval Stores ; or of Forgery or Perjury, in relation
to Seamen's Wages, it is (among other Things) enacted, that if any
Person should, from and after the Twenty-fourth Day of June, which was 50
in the Year of our Lord One thousand seven hundred and sixty-nine,
utter or publish as true, any false, forged, or conterfited Letter of Attorney,
Bill, Ticket, Certificate, or Assignment, last Will, or any other
Power or Authority whatsoever, in order to receive any Wages, Pay, or
other Allowances of Money, or Prize Money, due or supposed to be due 55
to any Officer or Seaman, or other Person who should have really served
or should have been supposed to have served, or should thereafter serve
or be supposed to have served, on board of any Ship or Vessel of His
Majesty, His Heirs or Successors, with Intent to defraud any Person,
knowing the same to be false, forged, or counterfeited, every such Person 60
being thereof lawfully convicted should be deemed guilty of Felony, and
should suffer Death as a Felon, without Benefit of Clergy: And whereas
Doubts have arisen whether the Punishment inflicted by the said Two last
recited Acts of Parliament, on Persons guilty of the several Offences
therein mentioned, extends to such Offences when committed with an 65
Intention to defraud any Corporation; be it therefore enacted, That, from
and after the passing of this Act, whosoever willingly and knowingly shall
personate or falsely assume the Name or Character of, or procure any other
to personate or falsely to assume the Name or Character of any Officer,
Seaman, or other Person entitled or supposed to be entitled to any Wages, 78
Pay, or other Allowances of Money, or Prize Money, for Service done on
board of any Ship or Vessel of His Majesty, His Heirs or Successors, or
the Executor or Administrator, Wife, Relation, or Creditor of any such
Officer or Seaman or other Person, in order to receive any Wages, Pay,
or other Allowances of Money, or Prize Money, due or supposed to 75
be due or payable for or on account of the Services of any such Officer
or Seaman or other Person as aforesaid, or shall forge or counterfeit,
or procure to be forged or counterfeited, any Letter or Attorney,
Bill, Ticket, Certificate, or Assignment, last Will, or any other Power
or Authority whatsoever, in order to receive any such Wages, Pay, 80
or other Allowances of Money, or Prize Money, which shall be due
or be supposed to be due to any such Officer or Seaman, or other
Person as aforesaid, or shall willingly and knowingly take a false
Oath, or procure any other Person to take a false Oath to obtain the
Probate of any Will or Wills, or to obtain Letters of Administration, in 85
order to receive the Payment of any Wages, Pay, or other Allowances
of Money, or Prize Money, which shall be due or be supposed to be due
to any such Officer, Seaman, or other Person as aforesaid, who shall have
really served, or shall be supposed to have served on board of any Ship
or Vessel of His Majesty, His Heirs, or Successors ; or if any Person shall, 96
from and after the passing of this Act, utter or publish as true any false,
