are more tender towards crimes OF this ne

actually passing counterfeit money is not
necessary to conviction and punishment !;
they will End that the intention and pre-
psration to commit the fraud is equally
perilous with the preparation OF the act
itself, and thus the tolls and dangers sur
rounding Infamous pursuits are multiplied.
