ry-house, mill-house, and the like,
parcel of the mansion house.' But 'burning of a barn, being
no parcel of a mansion-house, is no felony,' unless there be
corn or hay within it. Ib. The 22 k. 23 Car. 2. and 9 G. 1.
are the principal statutes against arson. They extend the
offence beyond the Common law.

If any person shall, within this Commonwealth, or, being a citizen
thereof, shall without the same, wilfully destroy,* or run** away with
any sea-vessel, or goods laden on board thereof, or plunder or pilfer
any wreck, he shall be condemned to hard labor five years in the public
works, and shall make good the loss of the sufferers threefold.

Whosoever committeth Robbery,* shall be condemned to hard labor four
years in the public works, and shall make double reparation to the
persons injured.

* Robbery was a felony at Common law. 3 Inst. 68. 'Scelus
inexpiable,' by the LI. Cnuti. 61. [See before in Arson.] It
was punished with death. Briit c. 15, 'De robbours et de
larouns et de semblables mesfesours, soitaussi
ententivernent enquis--et tauntost soient ceux robbours
juges a la morl.' Fleta says, 'Si quis conviclus fuerit de
bonis viri robbatis vel asportatis ad sectam regis judicium
capitale subibit.' L. 1. c. 39. See also Bract. L. 3. c. 32
Sec. I.

Whatsoever act, if committed on any mansion-house, would be deemed
Burglary,* shall be Burglary, if committed on any other house; and he
who is guilty of Burglary, shall be condemned to hard labor four years
in the public works, and shall make double reparation to the persons
injured.

* Burglary was felony at the Common law. 3 Inst. 63 It was
not distinguished by ancient authors, except the Mirror,
from simple House-breaking, ib. 65. Burglary and House-
breaking were called 'Hamsockne.' 'Diximus etiam de pacis
violatione et de immunitatibus domus, si quis hoc in
posterum fecetit ut perdat ornne quod habet, et sit in regis
arbitro utrum vitam habeat.' 'Eac we quasdon be mundbryce
