Example in Personal Injuries
Thus for example. A man contrives to act make
a his enemy undergo suffer a bodily hurt by means of forgery.
He is punished in consequence not only for the part corporal
injury but also for the forgery. Perhaps with
a view merely to the mischief of that individual offence
[or even of that sort of offence (to wit a personal injury)]
there might be no great use in adding to the punishment
for the corporal injury (which might as
well be have been produced by other means) any farther punishment
such as that for forgery. But forgery
is in it's general nature a very pernicious act:
and an act which can scarcely ever be needful
for any useful purposes: and which is very frequently
made subservient to very mischievious pupose:

man large sums of money of which he could by no
other means have been deprived. It is of use therefore
to throw a general note of infamy
upon the act of forgery; and to be even to be at
