C
Prodigality

The only case in which any immediate measures can be taken for restraining prodigality is that of a
man who lives upon his income. When a certain
proportion of his fortune has been spent, in order
to save him from want, the remainder at the instance of his friends
might be subjected to sequestration. Such a provision an expedient
when carried into effect execution would operate as a
remedy and in the mean time it would operate in prospect [the prospect of it
would operate] as a punishment.

Among the Germans there was a provision for that
purpose. In England persons are sometimes forced into to enga enter into engagements of the for such
a purpose by the importunity of their creditors.

To enter into the details of a plan of this sort
comes not within the design of a criminal code. It
will be sufficient in this place to exhibit a few
outlines. The detail of the provisions relative to such a
design would come under a division that might be
entitled Laws concerning Prodigals.
