LARCENIE.
Larcenie, is so called from the Latin, Latro∣cinium;* 1.1 it is defined to be the taking away of some personall Chattel in the absence of the owner. In respect of the thing taken away, it is said to be either great or little. Petty Larceny is, where the thing stollen doth not exceed the value of 12 d. and that (say some) is Felony: For the Indict∣ment (say they) must be felonice coepit, and a man may justifie the calling of one theif for such an of∣fence, and he shall forfeit all his goods and chattels for such a felony.
descriptionPage 142
If one shall steal goods to the value of 4. d. at one time, and 6 d. at another, and of 3. d. at another time, which do exceed the value of 12 d. and the••e severall goods be all stolen from one and the same person, then may they be put toge∣ther in one Indictment; and the offender being thereupon arraigned, and sound guilty, shall have judgment of Death.
Notes
* 1.1
Terms of Law, the Indictment must be also coepit & asportavit, or coepit & abdux∣it. One shall forfeit his goods and be whipped for petty Larceny.
