1 . (
Feudal Law )
An act on the part of the vassal which cost him his fee by forfeiture . --
Burrill .
[
1913 Webster ]
2 . (
O .
Eng .
Law )
An offense which occasions a total forfeiture either lands or goods ,
or both ,
at the common law ,
and to which capital or other punishment may be added ,
according to the degree of guilt .
[
1913 Webster ]
3 .
A heinous crime ;
especially ,
a crime punishable by death or imprisonment .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
Forfeiture for crime having been generally abolished in the United States ,
the term felony ,
in American law ,
has lost this point of distinction ;
and its meaning ,
where not fixed by statute ,
is somewhat vague and undefined ;
generally ,
however ,
it is used to denote an offense of a high grade ,
punishable either capitally or by a term of imprisonment .
In Massachusetts ,
by statute ,
any crime punishable by death or imprisonment in the state prison ,
and no other ,
is a felony ;
so in New York .
the tendency now is to obliterate the distinction between felonies and misdemeanors ;
and this has been done partially in England ,
and completely in some of the States of the Union .
The distinction is purely arbitrary ,
and its entire abolition is only a question of time .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
There is no lawyer who would undertake to tell what a felony is ,
otherwise than by enumerating the various kinds of offenses which are so called .
originally ,
the word felony had a meaning :
it denoted all offenses the penalty of which included forfeiture of goods ;
but subsequent acts of Parliament have declared various offenses to be felonies ,
without enjoining that penalty ,
and have taken away the penalty from others ,
which continue ,
nevertheless ,
to be called felonies ,
insomuch that the acts so called have now no property whatever in common ,
save that of being unlawful and purnishable . --
