Receiving Stolen Goods, Money or Securities.

An. Code, sec. 423. 1904, sec. 371. 1888, sec. 234. 1809, ch. 138, sec. 6. 1892, ch. 546.

1902, ch. 18. 1918, ch. 424.

470. Every person who shall be convicted of the crime of receiving
any stolen money, goods or chattels, knowing the same to be stolen, or of
the crime of receiving any bond, bill obligatory, bill of exchange, promis-
sory note for the payment of money, bank note, paper bill of credit, or
certificate granted by or under the authority of this State, or the United
States, or any of them, knowing the same to be stolen, shall restore such
money, goods or chattels or things taken and received to the owner thereof,
or make restitution to the value of the whole or such part thereof as shall
not be restored, and shall be sentenced to undergo confinement in the peni-
tentiary, or in the house of correction, or in jail, in the discretion of the
court imposing sentence, for not more than ten years. And such receiver
may be prosecuted and punished, although the principal offender or offend-
ers shall not have been convicted, and although such receiver shall have
received such money, goods or chattels or things from a person other than
the person by whom such money, goods or chattels or things shall have
been stolen.

Receiving stolen goods is a misdemeanor. Indictment need not aver that the
property was feloniously received or for purpose of converting it to traverser's use,
a purpose to assist or aid the thief being sufficient if the goods are known to have
been stolen. Indictment should, however, charge that the goods were unlawfully
received. This section merely prescribes the punishment for receiving stolen goods
and does not change nature of the offense. Effect of words " contra pacem." State v.
Hodges, 55 Md. 138 (decided prior to act, 1892, ch. 546).

Indictment charging receipt of " four pieces of printed paper commonly called
United States 5-20 bonds of the issue of-1865, each of the value of one thousand
dollars current money," is defective in that it does not charge that the pieces of
printed paper were bonds or certificates of indebtedness issued or " granted by
or under the authority of the United States." Offenses created by this section and
sec. 320 were unknown to common law—see notes to sec. 320. Kearney v. State,
48 Md. 23.

As to larceny, see sec. 318, et seq.

1824, ch. 53, secs. 1 and 2. 1839, ch. 32, sec. 1. 1844, ch. 173. 1846, ch. 145.

471. If any person shall erect, place, or have any booth, stall, tent,
carriage, boat, vessel or other vehicle or contrivance whatever, for the pur-
pose or use of selling, giving or otherwise disposing of any kind of spiritu-
ous or fermented liquors, or any other articles of traffic, or shall sell, give,
