By way of objection to the first article, it may
occur That that the damage which constitutes the pecuniary
mischief of the office, does not [even
in the case where the offence is an offence
against property]does not fall constantly
nor even generally on government the public property of the public:: the
benefit resulting from any reduction in the
quantum of this damage would not therefore
operate in its whole amount, in the character of as a
saving in the amount of the expences of
government. — that much Thus must be admitted: yet a th saving under this head
could not however be with propriety be omitted, struck
entirely out of the account, even in a financial
point of view. That portion of the national [+]
[+] stock which is the property
of the public, and
the management of which
is reposed in the hands
of government
stock which belongs to the public in its public capacity, the hands of Government
bears no inconsiderable proportion to the whole:
from various causes it stands exposed
to depredation mischief and depredation in a greater rather than in a less degree to
depredation than any other what belongs to individuals:: and in most instances
where an offence of this class is committed,
it is opportunity and nothing else that determines
whether it it is The property of the public government or that
of the individual that shall be the subject
matter of the loss.
