THEFT
The Definition I am about to give, indicative of
the Nature of the Act, is commensurate to the Term,
expressive of the moral Idea, Theft.
DEFINITION
Theft then may be defined, The taking of a
moveable thing, by one conscious of his not having
any Title so to do, and without the Consent of any
one who has, in the Intention of making it his own.
Distinguishable from this in it's Conception, though
actually distinguished from it by the Law, in some
Instances only, whilst in others it is confounded with
it, is the Offence of Embezzlement.
