Talk:False pretenses

no sources[edit]

The discussion of theft by false pretenses under common law is entirely without reference to sources. How do we know these claims are true?—Preceding unsigned comment added by DoktorMax (talk • contribs) 19:10, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling clarification[edit]

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)[reply]

In so far as the section "history" relates to the history of the Kingdoms of England and Great Britain, and the United Kingdom, as very nearly all of it appears to, it should not use American spellings. The Parliaments of those states should certainly not be referred to as having created a statutory "offense" of false "pretenses".James500 (talk) 22:11, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
