Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of Decisions in Criminal Cases Made at Term, at Chambers, and in the Courts of Oyer and Terminer of the State of New York, 1868, Vol. 6 The prisoner, together with her husband, was Indicted and tried for robbery. The judge charged that if the husband was present at the time the intent to commit the offense was formed, the law presumed she acted under his compulsion; but if she formed the intent to commit the crime and actually commenced its consummation in his absence and without his knowledge, the fact that he afterwards arrived and aided in completing it did not create the presumption that she acted under his compulsion, and that whether the wife acted under the compulsion of her husband was a question for the jury. On writ of error brought by the prisoner, held, that the charge was not erroneous. In an indictment for robbery in tho first degree, the prisoner was charged with taking "bank bills of banks, to tho jurors unknown, and of a number and denomination to the jurors aforesaid unknown, of the value of forty-nine dollars, &c., &c.," and the allegation was held to be sufficient. Form of an indictment for robbery in the first degree. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
