Law )
A crime less than a felony . --
Wharton .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
As a rule ,
in the old English law ,
offenses capitally punishable were felonies ;
all other indictable offenses were misdemeanors .
In common usage ,
the word crime is employed to denote the offenses of a deeper and more atrocious dye ,
while small faults and omissions of less consequence are comprised under the gentler name of misdemeanors . --
Blackstone .
The distinction ,
however ,
between felonies and misdemeanors is purely arbitrary ,
and is in most jurisdictions either abrogated or so far reduced as to be without practical value .
Cf . {
Felony }. --
Wharton .
