In the Republic Of Hayti, Brown tells us a
man was tried for stealing some articles of
food, while being cooked in pot over the fire.
1t was argued in his defence, that the larceny
was committed under the influence Of hunger;
and the court decided that it was not unlawful
for man to steal when hungry. To this it
was replied that he had stolen the pot also.
But in this dilemma the court decided, that, as
the yictuals could not be conveniently taken
away without the pot, it was allowable that the
pot should accompany its contents.
