a person convicted of theft on indictment is liable to imprisonment to a term not exceeding seven years. Section 8 – Robbery Section 8(1) creates the offence of robbery. Section 8(2) provides that a person convicted on indictment of robbery or assault with intent to rob is liable to imprisonment for life. Common assault itself is defined at common law.
