[+][17] Page 15 §§2 [At any public Auction]
In this case the reason for the controul does not
hold good. Thieves &c can not consign the
fruits of their depradation to the Auctioneer:
if they could, the Auctioneer (that is, the person
from whom they would obtain the best price)
is the person they would always consign them
to, not the clandestine and criminal Receiver,
who must receive high payment for the infamy
in which he is involved and the danger to
which he is exposed he incurrs exposes himself to, and from whom, in consequence, it is much if they can obtain the
half, the third, or the fourth part of the best
price.

The use of the provision requiring the Auction
to be open to all bidders without distinction is to prevent the criminal
Receivers and their Thieves from sheltering themselves
under the exemption, by having setting
up private Sham or private Auctions nominally for the trade
in general, but really for the criminal branch
of the trade. Close Auctions Such Auctions in which the trade
only are admitted, are believed to be common enough in a
variety of trades. The Booksellers trade at any rate is one example.
