III Expedients for satisfying indigence
Those for whom it may be expedient to
provide subsistence on the score of poverty may be
distinguished in the first instance into two

the dishonest or suspicious. Under the first
kind may be ranked the industrious poor,
the sick poor and the incurable: helpless infirm poor: under the
latter, sturdy beggars, persons suspected of crimes of indigence but not
triable, persons suspected of crimes of indigence after acquittal: sturdy
beggars may be considerd as forming a sort of middle
class, referable for some purposes to the first,
for other purposes to the second.

being unable to help themselves they are equally
unable to hurt others. But those who are
indigent through helplessness communicate their indigence by
the power of sympathy to such as others who are able.
