C
Of Co-offenders
1
Profit of an
offence may be
natural or arti-
-ficial
The profit of an offence is either natural or
artificial. By the natural profit is to be understood
that which accrues of course upon the arrival of the
obnoxious event. By the artificial is to be understood
any sort of profit which any person who shares has a share in
the natural profit may allow to co-offenders in for
the view sake of procuring their assistance.
It is evident that the natural profit must
vary with the nature of the offence: but artificial pro-
-fit may be the same in one case as in another: for
in all each case it may be any sort of profit whatsoever.

epithet The principal has nothing in the nature
of it which determines it explicitly to [belong to] one
offence or offender in preference to another. The application of it is
governed rather by the imagination than by any settled
rules. It is applied to that one whose delinquency hap-
-pens to strike upon the mind of an observer with the
greater force.
