Penal Code.Ch. Division of Offences

Such is the consequence with regard to the similar branch
of the passive faculty. But in the division made on the
question as between possessor and non-possessors depends,
in certain respects the state of the active faculty. If, while
in possession of the thing the possessor expects to receive enjoy at all
times, or for a certain length of time the benefit of it, the
benefit of whatsoever use it is capable of being put to, he has
a motive for giving continual encrease to its capacity of
usefulness being of use, and for the application of more or less of his
labour for that purpose. Under those circumstances if the
thing be of a nature susceptible of improvement, and is
not destined for immediate consumption or exchange the
probability is that in his hands it will be continually receiving improvement
receiving additional capacity of being made of use. To this
state of thin disposition operating upon this state of things is has been
throughout the habitable globe all whatever the addition that has been
made to the aggregate mass of the matter of wealth in the
possession of.

By these two circumstances taken together is constituted
the reason for giving to the aggregate mass of the subject matters
of possession stiled when considered as permanent property

which such security the aggregate mass of the matter of law is
capable of affording. In this reason is may be seen indeed the
only one, but so affording a more satisfactorily one can not be desired.

Of this reason the force can not but have makes itself continually felt
in every human mind: yet by no person it is believed
has any clear and adequate expression been ever given to
it.
