Opinion

THE COURT

(nem. con.) was of opinion that, in this case, the force was not sufficient to constitute the offence of robbery, and intimated that the law was correctly stated by Garrow, B., in Gnosil’s Case, 1 Car. & P. 304.

The jury found the prisoner guilty of simple larceny, and that he was a slave; whereupon THE COURT, not having jurisdiction of simple larceny by a slave, ordered him to be taken before a justice of the peace, to be dealt with according to law.
