Adultery.
5.
Adultery is not an offense at common law. Article 38, section 1, applies
to a conviction under this section; when improper items are included in
the costs, application for correction should be made to the lower court—
such error is no ground of reversal. Cole v. State, 126 Md. 240.
Assault with Intent to Murder, Ravish or Rob.
17.
An assault with intent to rob, murder or rape is not a felony in Mary-
land ; in this state only those crimes are felonies which were such at com-
mon law or have been so declared by statute. The death penalty provided
by this section is not in violation of article 16 or article 25 of the Declara-
tion of Rights. Dutton v. State, 123 Md. 375.
