R v Hensler [1870]

1. Facts:

• D sent a begging letter to a priest, pretending to be someone poor. The priest knew who it was but sent the money anyway.

2. Outcome:

• Decision: D was charged, but it was held that he did not obtain the property by deception.

3. Impact and Analysis:

• Legal Principle: The case establishes that if the recipient is aware of the deception but still provides the property, the element of obtaining by deception can still be fulfilled.
