68 THEFT
in the Intention of returning it: True it is indeed
that in this Case he might be said to make
it his own by adding "for a Time"; but certainly
not simply and without Addition.
If the Expression instead of that of "making it
his own" which I have adopted, or of "converting it to
his own use" which for the above Reason I have
rejected were to see that of the not returning it" an
Expression which a scrutinizing Reader (and such
I wish for)might be apt to object to me as
answering the purpose better than either, because
adopted to fix the sense of one of them, an Inconvenience
might ensue of which the following Supposition
may serve for an Example
A. agrees with B. to buy
B's Plow: he is to take it away in six Days, and
pay for it in a Month— C knowing of this
Agreement takes the Plow from B's House
without leave on the 5th Day, in the Intention
(which we will suppose sufficiently evinced by his Conduct
at the Time or after) of keeping it two Days or
three Days and then not returning it back to
B.
