7 Penal Code
Ch. VI. Offences affectg use of prop.
§. 10. Stealing
put.
True it is that, in number pretty considerable,
the savour of realty has been extracted from the things
adherent to it by the hands of common law. But the
capacity of imparting this savor, with its effects in
respect of impunity, has been preserved to it by common
law, and if all the plants that were ever
known to Linnaeus or (?) were
necessarily planted in an acre of ground & being
thus impregnated with the savor, divested of it by
so many successive acts of parliaments the soil
would remain as capable as ever of imparting
to its progress, the impunity-conferring savor
and while thieves were continuing to reap the
herbage, lawyers for prosecuting and defending
them would be continuing to reap the fees.
