Boardman, J.:
I concur in the conclusion of the presiding justice that the charge of the judge was erroneous and was likely to mislead the jury. As this will lead to a new trial, I desire to add that the seizure of complainant, in connection with getting his pocket-book and forcibly putting him out of the house, may by possibility, upon a new trial, furnish that element of force, overcoming resistance or inspiring fear, which is necessary in robbery. In this respect I think our decision should not be deemed to be conclusive of the case, or to require the discharge of the plaintiff in error from the' indictment.
