Alo it eems agreed, that no other relation beides that of a wife to her huband, will exempt the receiver of a felon from being an acceary to the felony; from whence it follows, that if a mater receive a ervant, or a ervant a mater, or a brother a brother, or even a huband a wife, they are accearies in the ame manner as if they had been mere trangers to one another. 2 Haw. 320.
