Can a wife steal her husbands property
This question recently arose before the Engnsn
Court for consideration of Crown cases reserved,
where only criminal cases are heard. The pris-
oner who had been police constable, was con-
Victed OF receiving stolen money and gooos,
which he knew had been stolen from the prose
cutor. an innkeeper at Bursem. The THEFT wsi
ALLEGED to have been committed by the innkeep
er's wife. She had undoubtedly LETT her hus
bands house secretly, and without his consen
carving avay with her about 500 OF hl
money. bis gold watch and other articles, which
she transferred to the prisoner. But his counse
contended that there could be no telonlous re
celyer of stolen goods, without there hrst oeini
a thief and that the conviction was wrong, be
cauae a married woman could not in law stea
the goods of her husband. The Court 80 heio
and ouashed the conviction, saying that aitnoug
the goods were taken by the vile, tney were nc nc
stolen that husband and wife were one, an
50 would be a violation of the law OF Engian
to hold that wife could steal her nnenaR3
goods. ."-[Fresno Expositor
