reluctance to prosecute
En Beccaria
the Laws which men look up to as the real agent
is so severe, that then can hardly forgive one another in a slight case [of compassion]
or rather I should say can hardly forgive themselves
for suffering themselves to be made the its Instruments
Nothing as every one knows is more common than a dialogue of the following sort
It is well known that a dialogue of the following

Person Robbed [Housekeeper]
My Rascal of a Servant has robbed me? What
shall I do with him?
Neighbour. Do with him? why you must prosecute
him to be sure
Housekeeper
It's very lucky I happened to discover him
He would have made a fine in my town as I did — My Plate would have gone to pot finely was going to pot
Neighbour — Oh I would prosecute him by all means —
there is no keeping any thing in safety for these fellows
Housekeeper
Why that's very true, but he had made off away
when I found him out with nothing but a Silver
Spoon I don't care to hang a man for a Silver
What will he be done to for it? will he be
hanged or transported?
