It has been holden, and it is now Law, that a man may be guilty of Larceny by stealing
his own good: i:e: with intent ass is then said (for it can have no other motive) to charge the person to whom he has as for ance a
delivered them with the value. Which might be saidAnd act thing, in of which in favour ments would not be
but there is one consideration which never totally deceives against it. The Crime does
not properly consist [so much] in that act of removal, which had the goods been another man's would have
been stealing: for the mischief does not then commence but depends upon a subsequent netslipansing
to be taken to compleat the fraudulent design: viz: the bringing of a civil action for the value.
Now thereforethen by the supposition, the malefactor is a reprehensible man: for he has the goods, whic
are of such value as make it worth his while to incur the expence of a civil suit to
recover them: & he has also by the same supposition, wherewithal to support that expence:
there is therefore no occasion to annex that extraordinary penalty to this transgression which
has been shownobserved to be indeed necessary only by the defect of responsibility.
