have been made punishable by fine only.  LI.  Gul.  Cohq. apud Wilk. p. 218. 220.  This commutation, however, was taken away by LI.  H. 1. anno 1108.  ’Si quis in furto vel latro-cinio deprehensus fuisset, suspenderetur:  sublata wirgildorum, id est, pecu-niarse redemptions lege.’  Larceny is the felonious taking and carrying away of the personal goods of another. 1.  As to the taking, the 3 & 4 VV.  M. c. 9.  Sec. 5, is not additional to the Common law, but declaratory of it; because where only the care or use, and not the possession, of things is delivered, to take them was larceny at the Common law.  The 33 H. 6. c. 1 and 21 11. 8. c. 7., indeed., have added to the Common law by making it larceny in a servant to convert things of his master’s.  But quaere, if they should be imitated more than as to other breaches of trust in general. 2.  As to the subject of larceny, 4 G. 2. c.32; 6 G. 3. c. 36 48; 43 El. c. 7; 15 Car. 2. c. 2; 23 G. 2 c. 26; 31 G. 2. c. 35; 9 G. 3. c. 41; 25 G. 2. c. 10. have extended larceny to things of various sorts, either real, or fixed to the realty.  But the enumeration is unsystematical, and in this country, where the produce of the earth is so spontaneous as to have rendered things of this kind scarcely a breach of civility or good manners in the eyes of the people, quaere, if it would not too much enlarge the field of Criminal law?  The same may be questioned of 9 G. J. c. 22; 13 Car. 2. c. 10; 10 G. 2. c. 32; 5 G. 3. c. 14; 22 h 23 Car. 2. c. 25; 37 E. 3. c. 19. making it felony to steal animals ferte natures.

Petty Larceny shall be, where the goods stolen are of less value than five dollars; and whosoever shall be guilty thereof, shall be forthwith put in the pillory for a quarter of an hour, shall be condemned to hard labor one year in the public works, and shall make reparation to the person injured.

     represented by such papers.* 2 G. 2. c. 25 Sec.3; 7 G 3. c. 50.

Prison breakers,* also, shall be deemed accessaries after the fact, to traitors or felons whom they enlarge from prison.**
