Political
a man who is heir to an estate and is the of
such a station of life as to possess a considerable
de share of pecuniary credit, may have
to choose between Forgery Murder, that is of the present life-holder of the estate and Forgery and
Theft or Robbery. But an indigent vagabond can
have no such option: of the above four crimes, he
can scarcely have more than Theft and Robbery
to choose out of.

to come in competition with one another the most
of offences that are liable apt to come into competition
numerous is that which is furnished by

is that of pecuniary interest; especially when
which when the circumstances of the party being
it add to it a tincture of physical want, may
be termed indigence. Accordingly the Offences that are most
apt to occur susceptible open to the greatest variety of
competition are accordingly the crimes of indigence. +
+ This subject will be more particularly discussed
in the body of the work under the head title of
offences against property in general.
