ROBBERY
(bouvier) | ROBBERY, crimes. The felonious and forcible taking from the person of
another, goods or money to any value, by violence or putting him in fear. 4
Bl. Com. 243 1 Bald. 102.
2. By "taking from the person" is meant not only the immediate taking
from his person, but also from his presence when it is done with violence
and against his consent. 1 Hale, P. C. 533; 2 Russ. Crimes, 61. The taking
must be by violence or putting the owner in fear, but both these
circumstances need not concur, for if a man should be knocked down and then
robbed while be is insensible, the offence is still a robbery. 4 Binn. R.
379. And if the party be put in fear by threats and then robbed, it is not
necessary there should be any greater violence.
3. This offence differs from a larceny from the person in this, that in
the latter, there is no violence, while in the former the crime is
incomplete without an actual or constructive force. Id. Vide 2 Swift's Dig.
