6. 18 C Of Simple Mercantile Defraudment

generally attended to: the multitude will be always governed
by appearances. The case is therefore that in some instances
the rich must be punished more than otherwise
they need, lest the poor should think themselves entitled
to complain.

In the view of correcting this real inequality, whatever
favour it is thought proper to shew to the rich, it
were better should be shewn in an oblique and inexplicit
manner. This is done by annexing the favour rather
to the offence than to the offender. Where the Offence is such
as is seldom committed but by persons too poor to be in
any degree responsible, punish it severely at all events:
where it is such as persons in responsible circumstances
are apt to be concerned in, give the Judge a latitude
to enable him to adapt the punishment to the circumstances
of the Offender.
