Of Frauds relative to the Coin.
The infamy will not be so intolerable in this case as in others. this as in other cases. It is indeed a general rule that a punishment
which points a man out as infamous ought to be confined
to such offenders as are condemned to perpetual confinement;
and that it ought not to be inflicted on any who are suffered
to mix again in Society. In the case of such offences
of rapacity as are the effects Case of indigence the indelible
Stigma seems liable to this dilemma. Either it will have
the effect of excluding the criminal out of all honest Society
or not. If it has he must either perish or enter
into a gang with others in the same condition and go
on robbing, for a Subsistence. If it has not, the danger is,
lest, by becoming familiar, it should fall into contempt.
In the Case of Coining this dilemma applies not with
equal force. A coiner, it should seem does not seem so criminal
either in his own eyes or in those of his neighbours
as a Thief or Sharper. His crime is not so repugnant as theirs
to the social feelings: it indicates not so depraved corrupt a disposition. + + See Introd. Ch. Of Dispositions.
