Classification of Crimes

Felony, i.e.

The former importance of the distinction between felony and misdemeanour is now reduced to a few minor procedural differences, such as the larger powers of arrest for suspected felony.

In the United States the distinction between a felony and a misdemeanour lies in ' how it is punishable, not the degree of infamy of the offence. All crimes which are not felonies or treason are misdemeanours punishable by a fine or by imprisonment | other than in a prison. Originally a misdemeanour was a crime not resulting in the j forfeiture of property in conviction, and at one time all felonies were punishable j more severely than misdemeanour (usually by death). Today, however, some misdemeanours are punishable in England more severely than some felonies, though never by death. Examples of misdemeanours are peijury, obtaining money by false j pretences, and conspiracy.
