Of the Aéls of a "Thief with refpeét to the Property fiolen.
i t a thief ileala piece, of ploth, and t^ar it in two. In thehQufe.af
the owner .of the. cloth, and then take it out of the houfe, and carry
Cafeofathief it off, and the value q f the cloth, after ijeing thus divided, apacnmt to
beforeSherar- tq ii.firms,, tffe hand of the thief .i^ to be ftpuck o ff It is recorded from
cuftodyUt0f -dboo Topfaf that his hand is pot. to be fixyck off; becaufe, upon his
dividing the. >clpth,m caufe .of his right, qf pfopeffy in it appears, as
the tearingbf it in pieces * is y paufe of right of property, on account of
its fubjecting him to J'efporifibilifyfor, thé value ; thus the fubjelt
pf refponfibility .bpcomes'his;pr.opertyiijhph his making fatisfaftion for
it tothe-qw!1?!' Wherethe '.thief, therefore, conveys the cloth out of the
owner’s hpufe-a/itfr haying divided it, theft i| hot effablifhed,. fince
the thief hpre conveys out of the houfe a thing in which a cable of
his right .of property qjiffs; ,and in fpch a cafe the hand pf a thief is
not to be'CUt off; in the fame manner as the haridisnot cut off where
the purchafer of goods fteals his purebafe in which the feller happens
tp have a referve of option,, as a c^rufe of property exifts in that in-
flance;-r-and ft? alfo in the cafe in.rjueftion. Hdneefa, on the other
hand, argues th^t the takipg o f thé clpÖ). tpgether with the tearing
of it in pieces^ is a caufe pf refpajt/ibiliiy, hut not c>{ tight o f property \
for thepnly principle on which this right js èftablifhed, fftèr making
Xatjsfaöion, j? that if h Jfffe not fc, tfie coppenfatiop, andrthe thing
for which the compenfatjon isi given, , wopld l}e united, in'one Rate of
property; and this does not engender doubt, any more than the
fimple taking, without tearing', in other words, as the fimple taking
away~'\s alfo/in -feme inffances, a caufe of right o f property after fatif-
