[+] As far as the predatory
subject matter of the present Bill
branch of delinquency
is concerned,
(a branch which in
respect of its fecundity
outnumbers
several times over all
the other branches put
together)
[+] The leading principle of the System is to oppose a
apply a check to depredation by opposing fresh difficulties
and dangers to to the faculty of disposing of
the fruits of it. But there is scarcely a species
of article that is not liable to become the subject
matter and fruit of depredation: the system therefore to be
commensurate to its object, ought not to embrace every
article of moveable property whatsoever [+] wearable property
[+] What distinguishes
article from article
in this point of view
is, not so much its being of
this or that species,
but its being having
or not having been
in the possession of
a particular
passed from the hands
of the dealer into
those of a possessor an occupier:
in which latter case
the article is in
the instance of one
class of articles only,
but that a very vexatious
one, termed
second hand.
which may be distinguished in general may <add> in this point of view be distinguished into live stock </add> and dead
stock: dead stock may be distinguished into articles
for consumption and articles for wear and tear. It
is to articles for wear and tear and to this class alone only that the distinction
between new and second hand is applicable. An
article that article of this class, if it has been stolen, or obtained by any other
species of criminal depredation, can scarcely present
itself to a purchaser, but under any other the denomination
of a second hand article: it can not unless by
whom it is offered for sale with presents himself
as being either the manufacturer or known dealer,
or agent for some known manufacturer or dealer
in that sort of article: a character which in general
it will not be easy for a common thief or other
depredator to assume. Hence the class of persons
in which it is dealings it is necessary to set a
particular watch, in order to apply for the purpose of applying a check to
the disposal of the fruits of depredation, comprises
the several classes descriptions of persons whose business
leads them to the purchase of second hand goods.|
