69. Continued

of an Old Clouthsman without any such conspicuous
accompaniment, might easily slip into the a Kitchen
or Back Yard and remove things of the servants from a servant &c
without coming under the Master's notice.

If the hardship could but be got rid if, it
presents itself as an obvious improvement, that
the business of the Itinerant Walking Old Clouthsmen should
be prohibited altogether: and the hardship it should
seem might be got rid of, if the persons deriving
at present their livelyhood from such a business
had sufficient warning and given time
(suppose three, or four, or any greater number of
years) to withdraw from it and betake themselves
to another. Whatever reasons plead for the discouraging there are that in the case
of the selling of new goods plead for the throwing discouragements in the way of the travelling branch of that trade the (viz: the Hawkers
and Pedlars) of the trade of selling new goods
plead with great additional force for the discouraging
and (under the above temperament supporting
the pedlaring branch of the trade of purchasing
second hand goods. If Hawkers and Pedlars commonly
so called are apt to be guilty of a
sort species of fraud by selling defective goods for more than they
are fairly worth, they are what they sell are at
least their own goods: but what the pedlaring purchases of second hand goods are at least equally apt
to be guilty of is the lending assistance to theft
by purchasing from servants and or other inmates
goods that are not the go property of the Vendor
the person by whom they were thus sold. Sum for
sum, the mischief of fraud is much inferior to that
of theft: because nobody conceives any great alarm from
the contemplation or even observation of a loss to which he
can not but be subjected but through some failure on his own part in point of vigilance or prudence.
