[edit] no sources
The discussion of theft by false pretenses under common law is entirely without reference to sources. How do we know these claims are true?
[edit] Spelling clarification
The current page uses both spellings "false pretences" and "false pretenses". The reader could be confused as to which is correct. I believe that the British spelling and the American spelling follow the pattern of "defence/defense" but I have not added this as I have no citation. I assume that the passages which use the "c" are the ones which have been copied verbatim from the Encyclopedia Brittanica, which would obviously have used the British spelling. 206.248.174.247 13:59, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
