sort are several articles of moveable property
. These are commonly distinguished into
money and goods. Money according to the common

to goods, many sorts of goods the case is different. Many
them are differently circumstanced sorts of goods, and these of the most valuable and least
bulky kinds remain commonly for such a length
of time in the custody of the same person, as to
be distinguishable with sufficient certainty by them as well by
who have been in the way him as by people who are frequently about him. This
is the case for instance with many kinds of apparel,
household furniture, trinkets and implements of trade.

good some additional security might perhaps be given
