What is the test for bribing a judicial officer?

In a prosecution under a similar statute (Commonwealth v. Murray, 135 Mass. 530) wherein the defendant was accused of bribing a judicial officer with intent to influence his act, it was held: "It is not essential to the defendant's crime that he should have induced the magistrate corruptly to receive this money. If he made a full and complete delivery of it, so that it was out of his possession and control and within that of the magistrate, with the corrupt intention on his part of influencing the decision of the magistrate, his offense is complete, although the magistrate received it in ignorance of what it was and afterwards retained it solely for the purpose of public justice."
