LARCENY AESTIMATION.
Larceny theft of all Crimes the simplest in its nature, & from the strength & of the temptation, together poised
to the facility of commission + + in many cases with little danger of
detection and the difficulty of detection the most frequently perpetrated frequent in its perpetration <add> of perpetration: shall be that with is that with which we will begin
It is the appetite of all appetites the most constant & [the] most natural, gratified by It is by this, that great portion of the Passion of all Passions the most constant & the most natural/general is
the method of all methods the most simple.
Other offences ag respecting the Subject property being either complicated
with injuries respecting a different person or likely to
which this does not be to the accomplishers out of their
Burglary being usually
It is the sole basis of the two other crimes of crime of Robbery, & commonly of that of Robbery & Burglary: Robbery being always
& Burglary generally, Larceny & something more; & it is to these there which make the greatest
figure of any in society, insomuch that Larceny alone according to [Mr Barrington Qu] computation is that for which 10</del. 19 Criminals out of 20 suffer. p.398: this is no computation but

temptation in regard to in the instance of the any particular object subject of the crime by the severity of the punishment by guarding that subject with a sanction of
more than in severity
for the crime when directed to that object above that which is affixed to the Crime in general
It is in vain to think of imposi
when the danger of detection appears as none, the Punishment will be as none
Punishment not inflicted in no more than another punishment not inflicted.
It wil be only throwing the danger off one sort of property in another sort of property
On this principle instead of Cloth out of grounds &c stealing of money
should be the most paid, because the most of it is the easiest, least to detection
cloth can not be conducted without — Money can
can if not bulky, for if bulky they must have stowage, & if not bulky
to stowage the loss is trifling.
