a small and transient Profit.
In this respect, this offence stands upon nearly the footing
with that of Cheating by false Weights and Measures: with this
difference that the Offender is not likely to be so responsible in
the former Case as in the latter. The Stock and Substance
of the Tradesman who sells the produce of the labour of a multitude
of workmen, is in general much greater, than that of the
workman whose dealings are confined to the produce of his
own.
No danger in making the Punishment greater than for Robbery. Robbery being an Offence against Property and Person both
is a much more mischievous offence than Theft or any Fraud upon
Property or, in short, than any offence against Person and Property
alone. It would therefore be a very mischievous measure to turn
a Thief into a Robber. Such would be the case if the Punishment
for Theft were severer than that of Robbery. For these
are Crimes that are apt constantly to come in competition; crimes
to the temptation of which the same person is apt to be exposed.
