“So an essential element of the offense under section 2153 is the making and delivering of the check to another person for value, and thereby obtaining from such other person money, goods, or other property of value. " (Emphasis added). 251 Miss. at 531 , 170 So.2d at 439 . It would appear that the transaction between Pollard and B & M Motors was a credit sale, and not an exchange for value based on the belief that Pollard's check was good at that particular moment. ( 244 So.2d at 730 ). And further: This Court said in Grenada Coca Cola Co., et al. v. Davis, 168 Miss. 826 , 151 So. 743 (1934): "The so-called bad check law does not cover the obtaining of goods where the goods had already been delivered, had passed completely out of the possession of the seller and away from his hands and premises in a previously completed transaction or transactions, although those transactions may have been at previous hours on the same day. There must be an exchange for the check at the time of delivery. The bad check law is severe enough without extending it by construction so as to include past deliveries, to say nothing of the question of the constitutional validity of such a statute if it were so construed.”
