C
Of Frauds relative to the Coin. Reasons
of time cannot of himself turn to any thing. His habits of Skill
and honest Industry, if he ever had any, are obliterated; his
reputation, if he ever had any, is gone. Frighten him from
practising Theft, he will have nothing left for it but to
turn Robber.
Between Coining and Robbery the case is different. A man's being in the habit of Coining may in general be looked
upon as a presumption of his possessing some honest Art from
which this illicit practise is only an occasional deviation, and
to which if forced back by salutary terrors, he may at any
time return. A button maker or silversmith who has taken
to Coining, although he should cease to coin, may continue
to subsist: he has only to confine himself to the proper business of a silversmith or a button maker. On such a person
therefore a punishment greater than even that for Robbery
may have its effect without driving him into the practice
of the more atrocious offence : instead of driving him on to Robbery
it may only drive him back to Button making. Quest. VI.
