C
Of Theft or Stealing
Excuses are I.

1. Where for want of the thing stolen the offender is in imminent
danger of perishing and he has no legal means of procuring
relief.

Excuse II.

2. Where this is the Case with any person that is dear to the
Offender: particularly if it be a Husband or Wife, Parent or Child,
Guardian or Ward, Master or Servant, or an old intimate friend.

Instructions to the Judge.

Let the Judge take heed that he be not imposed upon by
false pretenses of necessity. Such a necessity can seldom happen
where there is a public establishment for the poor.

As the necessity may be more or less urgent, on
that account it is made a ground of excuse only and not
of Justification.

Excuse III.

3. Where at any time before prosecution (A) the offender makes
or endeavours to make amends (B) for the whole or any part of
what he has taken.
