For Operating in any such way as to produce in
the part of the individual party operated upon an act or course
of conduct adverse upon the in any way upon the whole to the interest
of the community in question – ex. gr. the a particular
class or district or other class division of the political state – the
whole of the political state in question – or mankind
at large, the matter of good and evil becomes the matter
of corruption.
It may be either this matter of good or the matter
of evil: but it is the matter of good that most frequently
presents itself in that character.
Corruption operating in this way The breast in which the matter of corruption is thus
operating may be that of every individual at large.
But the case in which there is affords the most frequent
occasion for speaking of this matter of good as operating
in this character is that in which the person thus
operated upon is regarded as occupying the situation
of a trustee: of a trustee so acting whether on the behalf for the
benefit of or a trustee whatsoever be the party regarded
as the correspondent principal or as the English lawyers say the
trust – whether another individual or assemblage
of determinate individuals, a subordinate community class composed of the
indeterminate assemblage of individuals individually
indeterminate, or the whole of the political state.
