In fabricators case
consciousness is not
evil, without evil
intention.
Shilling bad — no intention
to make undue
profit of it, in the
consciousness of its
badness nothing evil.

In the case of the fabricator, a correspondent intention —
an intention to which the same attribute evil may
with propriety be applied, is implied when that same
attribute is applied to the subject of consciousness.

On the part of the fabricator in the case of the bad shilling suppose the absence
of all intention to make in the way of utterance undue profit by the article
so fabricated, it is not merely the mere circumstance of his knowing the mere consciousness knowledge
of its badness the article to be bad in the character of a shilling suffices
not of itself to warrant the attaching to it his consciousness that reproachful
attribute.

Generalities
seriousness of the badness
present, evil intention
will not be absent.
But in particular
cases, yes

In general this evilness of intention this
concomitant accompaniment of evil intention will not be wanting
to the consciousness: but. But cases may put, nor those
by any means unexampled ones, in which the intention to the intention
has not been evil no such reproachful epithet has justly been attributable.

Example 1. Button.
Resemblance of a plain
button to do shilling
known to fabricator,
yet to pass it for such
was not his intention.
By accident, with or
without negligence on
his part, it fell into
the hands of an Utterer
who passed it.
Utterer (who to be so
must first have been acceptor)
may in such
character have been
evilly-conscious or not,
and if not, temerarious
(thence blamable)
or unblameable.

1. The intention in which it was made, was that
of serving for a button: that it bears a certain degree degree
of resemblance to many a piece of metal which
is in the habit of being passed for a shilling is a circumstance
of which he is not unconscious: but that it
should be passed as such either by himself or by any
other person, was a circumstance result that in the intention of the man had never
entered into his intention had never found a place. By accident, it finds its
way into hands, by in which, with or without the circumstance
of evil consciousness with or without the circumstance of culpable blamable
ignorance or attention it has obtains currency in that character.
