to be considered as one thing
It is for the intelligent reader to decide whether
explanations pushed to this degree of refinement
will or will not be of service upon the whole towards
the solving of such doubts as a jury might be
liable to entertain.
With this idea (concerning what shall &
what shall not amount to a taking) coincide as
far as they go the received doctrines of the law.
On the affirmative it has been holden,
that a man who had taken off the sheets of a bed,
and carried them down into the hall, that a man
who had pulled off the skin or the wool from a
sheep, that a man who had taken plase out of a
trunk and laid it on the floor had severally so
acted as to consumate to this purpose their respective
guilt.
#
These cases are indeed adduced by the practical
writers as instances of the carrying away, the asportation
which the forms require to be charged as a fact contradistinct
from and over and above the taking: tho' I believe it
would somewhat puzzle a man using the language of
