the premises of any other person, body corporate or politic in the State, shall, against the

wilfully take and carry away any horse, mare, colt, gelding, mule, ass, sheep, hog, ox or
cow, or any carriage, wagon, buggy, cart, boat, craft, vessel, or any other vehicle including

owners the full value thereof, and be fined not less than fifty nor more than one hundred
dollars, or be imprisoned in the county or city jail, or the house of correction, for not less
than six months nor more than four years, or be both fined and imprisoned as aforesaid,

or persons, his or their aiders and abettors, took and carried away the property or any
portion of the same enumerated in this section, for his or their present use, and not with
the intent of appropriating or converting the same. [The provisions of Article 52, § 13,
shall not apply to this section.]
