Fraudulent obtainment
Qu. Is it Fraudulent obtainment to obtain the
loan of money upon false representations of ones
sufficiency to pay it?
Punishment ought
to rise with the
temptation.
To say that the punishment for an offence ought
not to encrease or rise with the temptation is as
much as to say in Mechanics that the moving force
ought not to be encreased in proportion to the burthen
I will state how I imagine take it these ingenious
writers came to fall into error if it be one.
Analysis — how
it can be carried
If we cannot [point out the whole number
of] make out a compleat list of the offences
themselves, at least we may shew within what
compass they must lie.
Palinodia Legislatorum
In the progress of legislation, it is natural
for when to turn themselves on all sides to combat
every thing which appears to them in the
shape of inconvenience or impropriety: but experience
will sometimes indicate the expediency of abandoning
a part of the ground they have taken,
and substituting liberty to coercion to relinquish
to narrow the limits of their empire, to relinquish their coercive measures, and substitute restore liberty in
its place. Instances State Li Immoralities, State
Libels, Restraints on Trade.
