Examples in English Law[ edit]

A number of United Kingdom Statutes refer to particular crimes as being high misdemeanors:

Discharging or aiming firearms, or throwing or using any offensive matter or weapon, with intent to injure or alarm the Sovereign

[1]Where a Roman Catholic advises the Crown on the appointment to offices of the Established Church

[2]Where a Jew advises the Crown on the appointment to offices of the Churches of England, Ireland and Scotland [3] Blackstone describes a number of offences as being high misdemeanors, for example:

treasonable words
receiving stolen goods
prison break
maladministration of high office

A number of statutory references to high misdemeanors have subsequently been repealed, including:
