State of Vermont v. Observation-Disclosures
for an attempt to burn barn, under the It'll
section Of chap. l0t Comp. Stat, which pro-
vides that "if any person shall wilfully and
malicously set fire, with intent to burn, to
the dwelling house Of another, or any out
buildings adjoining thereto" he shall be
punished, &c, &c.
The facts were, that the respondent enter
ed the barn and set fire to a quantity of chaf
therein. but the fire was discovered and cx-
tinguishcd before any portion of the barn
was burned, or oven charrcd A small por-
ton of the floor, however, was blackoncd.-
The respondent claimed that the forms Of the
character. but that TO subject one 10 the penal
ties there must be an actual burning of some
portion of the barn

statute was to embrace an offence OF pre-
csely this character that it was well set
tied that the actual burning Of any portion Of
the barn was punishable under the general

sound, the ith section, above referred TO, was
unnecessary, and a mere waste Of words.
