that if any person, within any of the laces under the sole and exclusive
jurisdiction of the United States, or upon the high seas, shall take and
carry away, with an intent to steal or purloin, the personal goods of
another; or if any person or persons, having, at any time hereafter, the
charge or custody of any arms, ordnance, munition, shot, powder, or
habiliments of war, belonging to the. United States, or of any victuals
provided for the victualling of any soldiers, gunners, marines, or pioneers,
shall, for any lucre or gain, or wittingly, advisedly, and of purpose to
hinder or impede the service of the United States, embezzle, purloin, or
convey away, any of the said arms, ordnance, munition, shot or powder,
habiliments of war, or victuals, that then, and in every of the cases
aforesaid, the persons so offending, their counsellors, aiders and abettors,
(knowing of, and privy to the offences aforesaid,) shall, on conviction, be
fined, not exceeding the fourfold value of the property so stolen, embezzled
or purloined the one moiety to be paid to the owner of the goods, or the
United States, as the case may be, and the other moiety to the informer and
prosecutor, and be publicly whipped, not exceeding thirty-nine stripes.
3. The Act of April 20, 1818, 3 Story, 1715, directs that wines and
distilled spirits shall, in certain cases, be deposited in the public
warehouses of the United States, and then it is enacted, s. 5, that if any
wines, or other spirits, deposited under the provisions of this act, shall
be embezzled, or fraudulently hid or removed, from any store or place
wherein they shall have been deposited, they shall be forfeited, and the
person or persons so embezzling, hiding, or removing the same, or aiding or
assisting therein, shall be liable to the same pains and penalties as if
such wines or spirits had been fraudulently unshipped or landed without
payment of duty.
4. By the 21st section of the act to reduce into one the several acts
establishing and regulating the post-office, passed March 3, 1825, 3 Story,
1991, the offence of embezzling letters is punished with fine and
imprisonment. Vide Letter.
5. The act more effectually to provide for the punishment of certain
crimes against the United States, and for other purposes, passed March 3,
1825, s. 24, 3 Story, 2006, enacts, that if any of the gold or silver coins
which shall be struck or coined at the mint of the United States, shall be
debased, or made worse, as to the proportion of fine gold or fine silver
therein contained, or shall be of less weight or value than the same ought
to be, pursuant to the several acts relative thereto, through the default or
with the connivance of any of the officers or persons who shall be employed
at the said mint, for the purpose of profit or gain, or otherwise, with a
fraudulent intent and if any of the said officers or persons shall embezzle
any of the metals which shall, at any time, be committed to their charge for
the purpose of being coined; or any of the coins which shall be struck or
coined, at the said mint; every such officer, or person who shall commit
any, or either, of the said offences, shall be deemed guilty of felony, and
shall be sentenced to imprisonment and hard labor for a term not less than
one year, nor more than ten years, and shall be fined in a sum not exceeding
ten thousand dollars.
6. When an embezzlement of a part of the cargo takes place on board of
a ship, either from the fault, fraud, connivance or negligence of any of the
crow, they are bound to contribute to the reparation of the loss, in
proportion to their wages. When the embezzlement is fixed on any individual,
he is solely responsible; when it is made by the crew, or some of the crew,
but the particular offender is unknown, and from the circumstances of the
case, strong presumptions of guilt apply to the whole crew, all must
contribute. The presumption of innocence is always in favor of the crew, and
the guilt of the parties must be established, beyond all reasonable doubt,
before they can be required to contribute. 1 Mason's R. 104; 4 B. & P. 347;
3 Johns. Rep. 17; 1 Marsh. Ins. 241; Dane's Ab. Index, h.t.; Wesk. Ins.
