Commonwealth v. Bean

| Mass. | Feb 2, 1875

Endicott, J.

The statute provides that whoever receives or aids in the concealment of stolen goods, knowing the same to have been stolen, shall be punished. Gen. Sts. c. 161, § 43. The ruling at the trial was correct. There was evidence that the defendant received the eye-glasses from Daniels, knowing them to have been stolen, and aided Daniels in their concealment. That he did this as a friendly act to Daniels, without any benefit or intent to receive benefit himself, is immaterial.

Exceptions, overruled.
