No harm therefore can arise from the adoption
of this clause - But great is the harm that
would arise from the rejection of it. It is a
provision of the greatest use and efficiency - and
that in every supposition - whether the purchaser
in each instance be a purchaser asking bonâ
fide or malâ fide - be of the honest class
or the dishonest.

With regard to the dishonest, it is on
one of two corresponding provisions contrived
for sowing the seeds of jealousy and dis... between
Thieves and Receivers - Another clauses makes it
amiss for the Receiver to trust the Thief: - this
makes it an enterprize of hazard for the Thief to
make an experiment upon the a Dealer for the
purpose of making use of him as a Receiver

I

In the case of the honest Dealer, the use of this
provision is more striking and peculiar extensive. An
honest Dealer when applied to by a man who
appears to him to be a Thief would every now
and then be willing to lend his assistance to justice,
were it not for the appearance of officiousness
and ill nature that might be thought to attach
upon a man one who should volumteer his
services in this manner. There are many situations
in which the appearance plea of obligation
is useful if not necessary to a man, to enable him
to follow the bent of his inclinations: and amongst
others that win which what a man of this
is every case where what a man ought to be done
for the benefit sake of the public bears hard upon individuals
