CHAP. 21.
Of Robberie.
MIxt, is that kind of bare Felonie which riseth from the former.
Whereof there bee two sorts, Robberie, and Burglarie.
Robberie, is stealth from ones person by assault in the high-way. But if either nothing (a) 1.1 bee taken, though hee command him to deliuer his purse or mo∣ney, or money taken, but (b) 1.2 without put∣ting the person in feare by assault and vio∣lence (as where one is indited Quod vi & armis, apud B. in via regia ibidem xl. s. de pecu∣nijs numeratis, &c. felonice cepit de persona I. S.) it is no Robberie. And therefore in this latter case he may haue his Clergie at this day.
