AN ARGUMENT used in the legislature
of Virginia against the disqualifying petty
larceny clause, proposed to be inserted in
the Constitution was that by his education
in slavery the negro was ''made to believe
he could commit petty theft, take provi-
sions and the like, without committing a
heinous crime, as little notice was taken of
such offences. This is all wrong. He
was more persistently and vigorously pun
ished for petty theft than for many graver
offences against the moral law.
