See Kilty's note on this Statute, Rep. 217; Act of Feb. 1777, ch. 20, and
1862, ch. 235, which amends Art. 30, sec. 202 1 of the Code, and the first
section of which is substantially the same as the 3d and 4th branches of
this Statute, the only parts of it which Kilty says were proper to be con-
tinued; see also 1 Kent's Comm. 403 n. (c). The Act of Feb. 1777, ch.
20, sec. 2, provided that the crimes enumerated therein should receive the
same construction, that had been given to such of the said crimes as were
enumerated in the Statute of Edward 3, commonly called the Statute of
Treasons. And the Act of Oct. 1777, ch. 20, sec. 29, provided, that no per-
lCode 1904, Art. 27, sec. 413 et seq.
