3 Me. 177
Brown's case
Opinion of the Court
observed that they were not aware that the statute of 31 Hen. 8 had ever'been adopted in this country ; and that from the early colonial legislation on the subject, it seemed improbable that it had been. The offence therefore was not indictable except under the statute of this State; and this remedy is limed to one year from the commission of the offence, which term had expired before the finding of the indictment.
Judgment arrested.
