Ch. or § Person stealing

Expositive

Art. 1. Person stealing is where by one person any a person is concerned
in putting another is put into and kept or detaining in a state of imprisonment or confinement
for the purpose and during a llonger or shorter greater or life less
length of time for the purpose or to the effect or for the purpose
of committing wishing wrong to the dmage of person so dealt with
or any other.

It This offence admitts of various descriptions
according to the purpose for which it is committed and the
condition of the person wrongee injured at whose charge it is committed

It is In its effects alone does it stand distinguished
from wrongful imprisonment and wrongful confinement: except
that it may be composed of an infinitely diversified alternation of wrongs in both those shapes.

Only where the stealer person stolen is at the time of life an age
so early that his or her identity is liable to be rendered
dubious by ulterior advancement in age in two cases does the
offence belong to the head of Offences affecting Condition.

One is where the consequence of the theft offence is – the placing
the person who is the subject matter of it in the sort of condition
which is termed slavery: thereby subjecting him or her to the
operation of a particular set of laws whereby authorisation under which the power of
and support is given government is employed employs itself in placing the one
person weaker under the name of slave and in the command at the
disposal of another, under the name or master of mistress.

In this case the person stealing may be distinguished by the appellation of Intended Enslavement.
