§. 6. Statistic function.
21.
Art 21. Efficient causes
of loss may be these
enumerated.
1. Unpreventible accident
or casualty. Unpreventible
accidents, tho'
by the supposition they
can not be prevented,
may yet be foreseen
as more or less probable,
and accordingly,
in the way of supply,
provided against.
2. On the part of a
directing or custodient
functionary, want of
appropriate information.
3. On want of adequate
and due attentions.
4. On the part of a
directing or custodient
functionary, embezzlement
or peculation.
5. On the part of a
non-functionary, stealing
or fraudulent obtainment.
22.
Art. 22. In a proportion
more or less
considerable, the causes,
the authors, and even
the amount will be
out of the reach of
ascertainment; for a
time at least, even
out of the reach of
conjecture. But, from this
uncertainty, no reason
results for forbearing
or omitting to put up a
record, in any case, so
much as is ascertained,
and in some cases
the subject-matter and
result of conjecture.
For
Ch. IX. Ministers Collectively.
§. 6. Statistic function.
22 contind.
For forbearance, tho
only efficient cause will
be what may have place
in regard to supposed
authors of loss, and is
produced by the danger of
injury to the reputation
of persons, on whose part
no blame, in any shape,
has had place. Note
here, that evidence not
sufficient to warrant
legal punishment at the
hands of the constituted
judicatories, may be
sufficient to produce
and warrant censure,
or at least tutelary
suspicion, at the hands of
the Public Opinion
Tribunal: and in this case,
as well as the other,
the publicity given to
past transgressions will
contribute to the prevention
of succeeding ones.
II Loss Book III I 3 6 12
For the several shapes
in which loss is
to have place with relation
to the several
subject matters
of registration,
to wit the several
species of stock, see
below Art. .
