8. C Of Theft or Stealing

3. Consciousness of Inability to make amends. 3. If at the time he takes the thing he knows himself
to be unable to make any compensation for the loss
and this although he should fully make known
what it is he has taken, and who he is.

Consciousness of not being likely to be called to account. 4. If he takes it trusting to the party's not being
able to call him to account. As if a man takes it before your face, supposing you to be at the point of death, or too poor to prosecute him, or
under an indispensable engagement to depart to
a distant country in such circumstances that you
cannot stay or return to prosecute.

Note See Chap: Of Offences against Justice (a) Of the four circumstances above enumerated the
effect of the first, is to prevent the Judge from obtaining the knowledge he must possess in order to do Justice
upon the offender: of the three last, to prevent his having
the power. Now if in any case the Judge can be
prevented from doing Justice, it can only be, (as we shall
see more particularly hereafter) by depriving him of one
or other of these qualifications, the knowledge, the inclination,
or the power. But the inclination in a case like this is
out of the question. It appears therefore that there can be no
other signs of a man's intending not to be amenable to Law but what
are here mentioned; and that therefore the enumeration above given is exhaustive.
