Bribery

Bribery is where a person who is in
any kind of Trust, receives money or money's
werth upon the condition [expressed or implied] that
he shall exercise it in such or such a manner. To p. 3. at top

From p. 5, No 2 at bottom

This is one of the most difficult of all
2 Difficult & danger of combating it directly offences to prevent: for what it supposes the
consent of both parties concerned, and a secresy
which both of them are concerned to keep. The
case scar detection of it is most difficult: the
proof of it most doubtful. + + It is less apt to leave traces behind it than almost any other offence. It can scarcely be
detected without breaching the expence of an act
of breaching: nor brought to proof without the
hazard of Perjury. Peter says that Paul offerd
him money: Paul says that no such offer
was ever made: no one else is pretended to have
been present. Who can talk shall say which of them says speaks
true?

The great difficulty is where the bribe, if
given or offer'd at all, was given in money. When it
is given in the any other shape of any it is not so
difficult to detect. Money as the phrase is, has
no ear-mark: + + Among coins of the same denomination unless by accident there is no knowing one piece
of money from another. This is not the case with
specific articles. These are in general of no use
any
