THEFT. ANOMALITIES RESTRICTIVE
Talking of that which had as intimates in union with the Soil of which the field
consorted, as any part of that Soil had with another. Unity was conceived to
extend exist so long so far as they saw contiguity uninterrupted.
This, Had it rested him, is far from being the least pleasurable of the errors into which men
must necessarily fall, when without thinking to lift up their eyes to the Index of
Utility, Dialectic analogues of allusions are the guides they follow.
But when they come to the giving of this Savour of the Realty as a reason, why
the taking of a Ward is not Felony why the taking of a Ward cannot be Larceny,+
+ G. Hist. P.C. 570 This is a maetamorphosis which a cannot be performed what the malefactor is by It would have been well if the Reverand Author could have told us previously how long the operation would taken

for Eden Coker's word is to be taken for it, the Law has made & a present of Box & all to
the first ragamuffin who shall take a fancy to it.
+ Note. This about this box is unsorted and Halas smaller work on the Pleas of the Crown p.66 but it is left out by the in his larger work by Burn, and the Author of the Commentaries - But is it not the power of one or more and what number of compilers to abrogate a point of doctrine by taking no notice of it? or was this ever established? & what is it that does establish a point of doctrine - a of this In the margin to the sentence which contains this, are two references: this one to Caliy's case for in his own reports Pt 8. p.33.b. in which
there is not a syllable about the matter. The other is to the Year Book to D.k. the here.
I have seen Boxes for that purpose that have
cost several guineas some pounds.
Even the more sober deductions from the principle [ of a supposed necessary uniformity
of the Law concerning the whole & concerning the points] when they come to be exemplified
like to dispute this suggest considerations which one should have thought would have given a shock to the solidity
of the Doctrine. If a man cuts down a tree and marches off with it immediately, it is all
very well, & no harm is to happen to him: But the Judges were forced could not avoid determining Hale J. C. 510 that if
he cuts it down " and after, about an hour's time, or so comes and pitches it away" this is
Larceny because "in that interval the property lodgeth in the right owner as a chattel."
It must be confessed that this account is not entirely altogether satisfactory & that it would have been well
if they could have told us with a little more precision, the time which chief such a metamorphosis since it does not take place at once, will will
take to operate: and it matter difficult nor does it seem easy to find the reason why this saver which will depart
go off in an hour or so at least when provided the Thief be about when the Thief is gone should not be able
to escape in God knows how long, during his while he is by.
Mean-while if this tree is were stuck into the ground again, or if a scantling of it
In this comfortable state are half the points of doctrine on which the lives of man depend
were cut off & tackled on to another, formed a part of this realty again & reqacquired this savor. &so takes quities as often
as it was disformed and reanimated: & thus the driving in of a nail and or drawing it out again
would as often determine, on the one hand whether one man was to have the Law's protection
for his own, on the other hand whether another man was to live or die.
