C 5
Of favouring Desertion
Observations
The punishment penal clause is worded in this relative manner, in as
order that the offence a means of just reconciling the
people to the punishment, and justifying it in their
eyes. The Theft is an offence of the mischief of which
every man is sufficiently sensible. Desertion is an
offence of the mischief of which how real soever,
persons the bulk of the people are not equally sensible.
So an effectual means There can not therefore be a
more effectual means of reconciling the people to
the of punishes a Law which annexes to this offence the same punishment
as to Theft, than the shewing how nearly
the mischief of it approaches to that of Theft.
Observations Reasons
[These propriety of admitting these circumstances to operate
as excuses is founded on the following reasons.]
1. In general The mischief of this offence of desertion however real
is too remote to strike the imaginations and excite
the indignation of the unthinking people. The offence
at the very worst will therefore never be so unpopular
as to cover cast on the offender any considerable weight of infamy.
It will therefore never be very unpopular to assist
a man in committing it.
