the street, after attempting to make his escape.
.Mr. Baron. THOMPSON; stated to the Jury, that
this was .a capital offence .as charged in the India.
ment; and in order to constitute the crime of rob.
bery, it was necessary that the-stealing should be.
accompanied. by some. circumstance` of violence or
terror if there had been nothing.but snatching and
tannins away with the trundle, he should. have, ad.
vised the Jury ,not to convid tile Prisoner, of the
whole`' of the charge, for, in that case, the full
-
erime of .tobbery .would :DM have been. made our,.
and the case would amount to no
,more than a single
larceny ; but the violent snatching of the bundle
being accompanied with a,,blOw on the .hat, and a
Croke' on the artn, were circumstances, in his opi.
nion;
,sufficient to ,constitute the violeti6e required
by la,w.to snake .up an highway iobhery. The
Jug ,weichl say whether they, were satisfied, with
the. account the boy gave, anal if they were '
