NOTES.
CHAP. 23. Notwithstanding the general extention
of the statutes relating to house-breaking,
or larceny from the house, there is reason to believe
that this was not among them.
It was applicable in part to a species of larceny
called in England shop-lifting, which was not
likely to be much practised in the province, and
no case has been found of a prosecution that appeared
to be under this statute; nor is there any
thing to shew that the prosecutors of felons, and pardons
to the discoverors of two or more were in use in
the province.
