CAAP. XXI. Of Robbery.
MIxt, is that kind of bare Felony which riseth from the former.
Whereof there be two sorts, Robbery and Burglary.
Robbery is stealth from ones person by assault in the high way. But if either nothing(a) be taken, though he com∣mand him to deliver his purse or money, or money taken, but(b) without putting the person in fear by assault and violence (as where one is indited, Quod vi & armis apud B. in via regia ibidem xl. s. de pe cunijs numeratis, &c. felonice cepit de person•• I. S.) it is no Robbery. And therefore in this latter case he may have his Clergy at this day.
