indeed a man might derive a motive. But this motive
would at the best be a very feeble one; and in
many cases would scarce apply at all. Offences which
were particularly terrible to the neighbours of the party injured the view
of those neighbours might call on him to prosecute:
Such offence If he were easy in his circumstances
the interest he had to preserve their good will, might
every now and then be an inducement to him to
bestow give take upon him the trouble and expence of
a prosecution. But against offences that affect only the public
at large the voice of the neighbourhood does not
raise exert itself in his manner. Who for instance
calls upon any man to prosecute a smuggler?
In a few privileged minds public spirit that is
sympathy for the public interest may indeed answer the
purpose of a motive. But such a motive is to be expected
to predominate in those only, and in but a few of those
who are accustomed to act under the public eye.
