Id. s. 15. HUSBAND AND WIFE. Their liability for crime.] If the husband be present at the time his wife commits a felony (except murder and robbery), the law presumes that the wife acts under the coercion of her husband, excuses her, and punishes the husband only. 1 Hawk. c. 1, 8. 2. But if she commit it in his absence, even although it be proved that he incited her to it, she is as amenable to punishment as if she were a feme sole. 1 Hale, 45. Staundf. 26. So if a wife commit treason, murder, or robbery, even in the company of her husband, the law, on account of the odiousness and dangerous consequences of these crimes, will not excuse her. 1 Hawk. c. 1, s. 9, 1 Hale, 47. So if a wife commit an offence under felony, even in company of her husband, she is liable to punishment, as if she were not married. 1 Hawk. c. 1, s. 13; but see R. v. Price, 8 Car. & P. 19 semb. cont. So, she and her husband, or she alone, may be indicted for keeping a disorderly house, 1 Hawk. c. 1, s. 12, or gaminghouse, R. v. Dixon and Wife, 10 Mod. 335, or for forcible entry, Dalt. 126, riot, conspiracy, &c. But a wife cannot be charged with having conspired with her husband alone; for conspiracy must be between two persons at least, and husband and wife are but one person in law. 1 Hawk. c. 72, s. 8. Nor is she deemed accessary after the fact, in receiving her husband, although she may know at the time of his having committed a felony; for she is in his power, and is obliged to receive him. 1 Hale, 47. A woman, also, can never be deemed guilty of stealing the goods of her husband, 1 Hale, 514. 1 Hawk. c. 33, s. 19, or of her husband and others, R. v. Willis, Ry. & M. 375, unless she a commitment for an offence committed at sea, it is icient to state that it was committed "on the high " without also stating that it was committed within jurisdiction of the Admiralty. See R. v. Jones and cdonell, 2 Car. & K. 165. s to trial for murder on the high seas, ace R. v. Bereg 4., 2 Car. & K. 53.
