Against a Receiver, where the Offence of the Principal is a Misdemeanor.

If the offence of the principal were a stealing, the commitment will be in the same form as the last, merely substituting the word "unlawfully," for the word "feloniously." But if the offence of the principal be not a stealing, then besides substituting “unlawfully" for "feloniously," you must make the necessary alteration in the above form, as to the description of the original of fence; as for instance, where the offence of the principal was the obtaining goods under false pretences, instead of saying, "then lately before feloniously stolen, taken, and carried away," you say, "then lately before unlawfully obtained from the said C. D. by false pretences."
