In the case of the fabricator, a correspondent intention — an intention to which the same attribute evil may with propriety be applies, is implied when that sam attribute is applied toe the subject of consciousness.
On the part of the fabricator in the case of the bad shilling suppose the absence of all intention to make in the way of utterance undue profit by the article so fabricated, it is not merely the mere circumstance of his knowing the mere consciousness knowledge of its badness the article to be bad in the character of a shilling suffices not of itself to warrant the attaching to it his consciousness that reproachful attribute.
6 In fabrication case consciousness is not evil, without evil intention. Shilling bad — no intention to make undue profit of it, in the consciousness of its badness nothing evil.
In general this evilness of intention this concomitant accompaniment of evil intention will not be wanting to the consciousness. But : but cases may put, nor those by any means unexampled ones, in which the intention to the intention no such reproachful spillins has justly been attributable has not been evil.
7 Generalities seriousness of the badness present, evil intention will not be absent. But in particular cases, yes
1. The intention in which it was made, was that of serving for a button: that it bears a certain degree degree of resemblance to many a piece of metal which is in the habit of being passed for a shilling is a circumstance of which he is not unconscious: but that it should be passed as such either by himself or by any other person, was a circumstance result that in the intention of the man had never entered into his intention had never found a place. By accident, it finds its way into hand, by in which, with or without the circumstance of evil consciousness with or without the circumstance of culpable blamable ignorance or attention it has obtains currency in that character.
8 Example 1. Button. Resemblance of a plain button to do shilling known to fabricator, yet to pass it for such was not his intention. By accident, with or without negligence on his part, it fell into the hands of an Utterer who passed it. Utterer (who to be so must first have been acceptor) may in each character have ben evilly-conscious or not, and if not, h (thence blamable, or unblameable.
