CRIMES AESTIMATION. 4 v. Larceny 1

It is of importance in practise not to confound these two cases, as one might be apt to do upon a superficial
glance: one might be apt to do: They are crimes of the same person, the motive & opportunity for as these two crimes are such as are apt to originate from the same motive
& to be committed They are crimes of the same person: by the same sort of men; if you establish the same punishment for each,
you will and you, as far as your Laws have any effect, you make the choice of them a
matter of indifference; if establish a heavier for the former than the latter, you will
cause the latter to be preferred: practised in preference while it is plain how much less more mischievous it is than
the former.

So far from the is the diffusive accumulatory distributory sort of mischief from being greater than equal to the the increasing acculmulative & that
it is less than the stationary, which itself is less than the other. It is less - for, it
supposing it possible let the distribution go on among so many that the loss of each
shall be less than the value of any assignable species of coin [but can it? must it not consist in the loss of coin at least one smaller.: it is plain it will
be felt by none at all: & in proportion as the loss of each approaches to that
infinitely small quantity, the effect of it upon each person will be the smaller; &
tho' the sum of the losses of all must be equal in all cases (supposing where the quantity
of base money circulated is to be the same) yet the sum of misery unhappiness produced by those losses is
less, as the number of persons losing is greater — supposing (which we have as good there is as good reason for
to do as the contrary doing as for supposing otherwise, that the situation of persons is in every case alike a few restrictions might yet be made & doubts suggested did it not [appear that] the investigation is appear to be already pushed as far as it can be of use in practise: which

The mischief produced by the coinage of the smallest coin of small value Copper Halfpence and Farthing,
Coin falls in smallest masses: it is therefore with reason that it is furnished in a less degree
The coinage circulation of a base guinea can produce an issue — less mischief less than that of the
loss of a guinea: The circulation of a light guinea can produce in no one a mischief
less than that of the loss of so much as it wants of being full weight.
