termed Brokers appear to present themselves: since
their dealings embrace every sort of moveable article
without exception. Next to these stand Pawnbrokers:

In respect of the this subject matter the dealings of
Auctioneers are still more extensive than those of
either of the above preceding classes: embracing immoveable
property, incorporeal property, and in short
every thing vendible. But it being the business of
the Auctioneer as such to sell only and not to buy
and to sell on such terms as require the proprietor
possessor to be known and forthcoming, and to wait
for his money, hence the Auctioneer is not that
sort of person from whom it his has in general in the way
of the thief or other depredator to derive any assistance:
unless it be now and then, in case of goods
obtained in larges masses in the way of swindling.
If the business of the Auctioneer stands in any respect in need of
the superintending eye of the Police, it is rather in
respect of the depredation which a dishonest dealer
of this class will now and then committ by selling on his own
account to the prejudice of a purchaser, by selling bad goods
at a high price, then and not in respect of any prejudice
shown to a any former lawful proprietor of the goods.
