C
Offences Theft
Just.
Why a wrongful usurpation unaccompanied with
the intention of not being amenable to law is
not punished as theft when accompanied with
such intention?
Reasons
Because in the pr former case such extra punishment
would be needless. this punishment
a quantity over so little at any great distance, a very small quantity over and above that which is equivalent
to the profit of the offence will be sufficient.
It is the apparent uncertainty of the punishment
that occasions the great demand for the incr
of it in of ingratitude. And we suppose
an offender to be amenable this uncertainty
and this is what by this supposition
tends to be. Amenable Why? because
looks upon it as a
in the worst it turns out to be a case
this will be his is final, he however
not value it in that light: ever it he had
the punishment had appeared in his eyes
as little more than equivalent to the profit
the offence he never could have engaged
This being the case it would have been be in
to affect establish any greater of quantity of
must, since owing to his mis-conception of
the highest degree of punishment as well as the lowest would in this have
is equally foreign to his case.
