[(I) Amenable] A man may be said to intend
not to be amenable to law for taking a thing when
his intents intention is either to keep the affair concealed from
the knowledge cognizance of the Judge, or not to conform
to that which upon having had cognizance the knowledge of the affair,
the Judge (he thinks) will shall order.
Instructions to the Judge
The signs of a man's intending not to be amenable
to law for taking a thing [which he has
no right to take] are as follows. 1.
Note.
The chief use of these instructions is to settle the
ideas of the Judge on this subject and enable him to
determine when a man is guilty. As to the offender, he
knows well enough when he is guilty without danger
of mistake; on this account the insertion of this article
does not seem so necessary as that of some other parts in
the popular part of the Law. It means may be thought perhaps rather to concern
the function of the Judge and to belong therefore to the Title
of Procedure.
