Quest. 2. In the next place the punishment might
by this means stand so high as to dispose
a man to give the preference over theft to some
offence still more mischievious; at least unless the
punishment was of all offences liable to come
into competition with this view. these inconveniences are still
more likely to take place,where an offender happens
to have committed a multitude of thefts at
different times before he is prosecuted for one.
