Whosoever committeth murder by poisoning shall suffer death by poison. Whosoever committeth murder by way of duel shall suffer death by hanging; and if he were the challenger, his body, after death, shall be gibbetted.[36] He who removeth it from the gibbet shall be guilty of a misdemeanor; and the officer shall see that it be replaced. Whosoever shall commit murder in any other way shall suffer death by hanging. And in all cases of Petty treason and murder, one half of the lands and goods of the offender, shall be forfeited to the next of kin to the person killed, and the other half descend and go to his own representatives. Save only, where one shall slay the challenger in a duel,[37] in which case, no part of his lands or goods shall be forfeited to the kindred of the party slain, but, instead thereof, a moiety shall go to the Commonwealth. The same evidence[38] shall suffice, and order and course[39] of trial be observed in cases of Petty treason, as in those of other[40] murders. Whosoever shall be guilty of manslaughter,[41] shall, for the first offence, be condemned to hard[42] labor for seven years in the public works, shall forfeit one half of his lands and goods to the next of kin to the person slain; the other half to be sequestered during such term, in the hands and to the use of the Commonwealth, allowing a reasonable part of the profits for the support of his family. The second offence shall be deemed murder. And where persons, meaning to commit a trespass[43] only, or larceny, or other unlawful deed, and doing an act from which involuntary homicide hath ensued, have heretofore been adjudged guilty of manslaughter, or of murder, by transferring such their unlawful intention to an act, much more penal than they could have in probable contemplation; no such case shall hereafter be deemed manslaughter, unless manslaughter was intended, nor murder, unless murder was intended. In other cases of homicide, the law will not add to the miseries of the party, by punishments and forfeitures.[44] Whenever sentence of death shall have been pronounced against any person for treason or murder, execution shall be done on the next day but one after such sentence, unless it be Sunday, and then on the Monday following.[45] Whosoever shall be guilty of Rape,[46] Polygamy,[47] or Sodomy[48] with man or woman, shall be punished, if a man, by castration,[49] if a woman, by cutting through the cartilage of her nose a hole of one half inch in diameter at the least. But no one shall be punished for Polygamy, who shall have married after probable information of the death of his or her husband or wife, or after his or her husband or wife, hath absented him or herself, so that no notice of his or her being alive hath reached such person for seven years together, or hath suffered the punishments before prescribed for rape, polygamy, or sodomy.
