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.
Embezzlement is where a Man having
taken, on having Liberty to take a moveable Thing, by
the Consent of the Owner expressed or to be implied,
if not obtained by Fraud, does some At with the
Intention of making it his own in the consciousness of
having no Title so to do.
