Key legal question
Whether the indictment violated the accusation principle by using an allegedly contradictory alternative formulation
Extracted holding
The indictment was sufficiently clear because its meaning was unmistakable: the defendant either knew he was unauthorized to dispose of the papers or knew they were worthless forgeries.
Extracted reasoning
Although the wording was not elegant, it specified the relevant deception and the defendant's knowledge in a way that allowed the defence to understand the case and prepare accordingly.
