State v. Berweyer 1 Mann. Unrep. Cas. 180

No. 6602.

The State vs. Mark Berweyer.

Under an indictment for robbery, the value of the property taken is immaterial provided it be of some value, A watch worth a penny forcibly extorted makes the robbery as well as if worth a pound, the gist of the offence being the force and terror. If something be taken and it be of some value, it is sufficient.
