“The proof is uncontroverted that the check itself was forged and that the defendant presented the check to Fields. Passing or uttering a check consists of presenting it for payment. (Cite) The allegation that the defendant “knowingly, willfully, unlawfully, intentionally and feloniously, etc., did pass and utter” the check in question raises an issue of fact for resolution by the jury; The allegation of “knowingly” and “intentionally” has reference to the general criminal knowledge and intent, and not to the specific intent and knowledge to such general criminal knowledge, wilfulness, unlawfulness and intent, the jury can infer them from the facts and circumstances surrounding the commission of the crime itself. (Cites) The word “intent” as so used has been construed to mean not an intent to commit a crime, but is merely the intent knowingly to perform the interdicted act.”
