Fraud is an offence at common law. To constitute this offence, however, the act done must effect the public—and be such an act as common prudence would not be sufficient to guard against; as the using of false weights and measures, or false tokens, or where there has been a conspiracy to cheat. The punishment is fine and imprisonment.
