§10. _Burglary_ is maliciously and forcibly breaking into and entering in the night time, any dwelling-house or other building, with intent to commit a crime. Breaking into and entering a house by day, is considered a minor degree of burglary. §11. _Forgery_ consists in falsely making, counterfeiting, or altering any instrument of writing, with intent to defraud. The word _counterfeiting_ is generally applied to making false coin or bank notes, or in passing them; or in having in possession any engraved plate, or bills unsigned, which are intended to be used for these purposes. §12. _Robbery_ is the taking of personal property from another in his presence and against his will, by violence, or by putting him in fear of immediate injury to his person. Knowingly to send or deliver, or to make for the purpose of being sent, a letter or writing, threatening to accuse any one of crime, or to do him some injury, with intent to extort or gain from him any money or property, is considered an _attempt to rob_, for which the offender may be imprisoned. §13. _Embezzlement_ is fraudulently putting to one's own use what is intrusted to him by another. To buy or receive property knowing it to have been embezzled, is to be guilty of the same offense. Embezzling is usually punishable in the same manner as larceny of the same amount. §14. _Larceny_ is theft or stealing. The stealing of property above a certain amount in value is called _grand larceny_, and is a state prison offense. If the value of the property stolen is of less amount, the offense is called _petit larceny_, and is punished by fine or imprisonment in jail or both. §15. _Perjury_ is willfully swearing or affirming falsely to any material matter, upon an oath legally administered. _Subornation of perjury_ is procuring another to swear falsely; punishable as perjury. §16. _Bribery_ is promising or giving a reward to a public officer, to influence his opinion, vote or judgment. A person _accepting_ such bribe, is punishable in the same manner, and forfeits his office, and, in some states, may never hold another public trust. This offense is not in all the states punishable by imprisonment in the state prison. §17. _Dueling_ is a combat between two persons with deadly weapons. Killing another in a duel is murder, and punishable with death. If death does not ensue, imprisonment. Challenging, or accepting a challenge to fight, or to be present as a second, imprisonment. Dueling is not a punishable offense in every state. §18. Aiding or attempting to aid a prisoner committed for felony, to _escape from confinement_, or forcibly rescuing a prisoner charged with crime, from the custody of a public officer, is a crime. If the offense for which the prisoner is committed is less than felony, the punishment is imprisonment in jail, or fine, or both.
