Offences against the Coin

Danger of punishing coiners more than Robbers the reasons that have been given more particularly so
with this; insomuch that it might be worth while to
incur some hazard in thethis experiment for the sake of
trying the efficacy of such milder remedies: I mean that
hazard, whatever it might be, which might be incurred for by
reducing, for a time at least, the punishment of coining
to a level with that of theft. I do not say that any
difference in point of punishment will bring back robbers
and convert them into coiners; but it may prevent
coiners from rising being corrupted into robbers. Now though nothing
is less true than that any robber will do for a coiner, yet
almost any Coiner will do for a robber.


(one thing it is true is to be considered) on the other
side that in general a thief or sharper or a robber who has
followed any of these occupations for a length of time
cannot of himself turn to anything else: so that he has
nothing left for it but to go on in the track he is in till he is
