5Penal Code
Ch. VI. Offences affectg use of prop.
§. 10. Stealing
multitude.
The scale of punishment has been spoken of as commencing
at absolute impunity, and not ending anywhere
short of death. Extensive in no small degree
is the case of absolute impunity; for its extent is
that of the whole territory of the state. Anything
which, at the time of its being stolen, was in a
state of adhesion to the earth, was found to be
thereby rendered incapable of being stolen. Being
fixed to the realty , it had upon it a
that was the end of the realty. ( was the word —
for under English common law were regarded as
constituting reason or improved substitutes to it).
This was sufficient proof that either the thing
was not capable of being stolen or supposing it
was stolen, it was not reasonable or proper that
the thief should be punished for stealing it.
