(z) This section is new, and is intended to embrace a class of crimes most dangerous in their nature, and which are not new in the administration of Pennsylvania criminal law. (See Wharton & Stille's Med. Jur. § 443.) The section punishes the administration of stupefying mixtures with criminal intent, whether the object of the offender has been consummated or not. Where the law in such cases punishes only the consummation of the criminal intent, the condition in which the party injured is placed by the administration of the drug, renders the conviction of the consummated crime always difficult, and sometimes impossible. Report on the Penal Code 25.

(a) This section is new; it is intended to meet the case where a party has been indicted for a felonious assault, such as is provided against in the 81st, 82d and 83d sections of this act, and the proofs, while they may fail to sufficiently establish the facts required to constitute the felony, are adequate to make out the misdemeanor provided against in the 98th section hereof. Under this section the jury may acquit of a felonious assault, and convict of the misdemeanor. Report on the Penal Code 27.

(b) This is a re-enactment of the act of 1700 (1 Sm. 6); except that, in lieu of leaving the punishment to

the discretion of the court, it prescribes fine and imprisonment, or both, or either, which cannot be exceeded. Report on the Penal Code 13.

(c) One who lets his house for the purpose of keeping a bawdy-house, cannot be convicted on an indictment, which simply charges, in general terms, the offence of keeping a bawdy-house; the facts must be specially set forth. Commonwealth v. Johnson, 4 Clark 398.

(d) The 42d and 43d sections, which are new, enact the existing common law, and impose the same punishments, except that they fix limits to them which cannot be exceeded. Report on the Penal Code 19.

(e) To bring a case within this proviso, there must be a general report that the husband or wife died at some particular place, was shipwrecked, or lost his or her life in some way which the report specifies. Commonwealth v. Smith, 2 Wheeler's Cr. Cas. 79.

(g) This section is a consolidation and amendment of the Province law of 1705, 1 Sm. 29; and of 4th seetion of the act of 5 April 1790, 4 Sm. 533; the latter being the law under which the crime has been heretofore punished, since the reform of the penal code. Report on the Penal Code 18.
