or representative of another person or as an officer or agent of any corporation
or as a member of a partnership, with intent to defraud, to make, draw, utter
or deliver any check, draft or order for the payment of money in a sum not
in excess of $100 upon any bank or other depository, knowing at the time of

credit with such bank or other depository for the payment in full of such

to defraud, and the certificate of protest of nonpayment of same shall be
presumptive evidence that there were no funds or insufficient funds in or
credit with such bank or other depository and that the person making, drawing,
uttering or delivering the instrument knew that there were no funds or insufficient
funds in or credit with such bank or other depository.
