Summary?

Corruptive influence degrees

1. The highest degree of efficiency is where to the receipt of the sinister and corruptive benefit no special act done in the intention of producing the public mischief /that view/ is at the hands of any particular individual necessary: the benefit falling into his lap in virtue of the general arrangements that have place on the part of the law

2. The next highest degree of efficiency is where to the receipt of the benefit although a special act done in that view may be regarded as necessary, yet no such special act is actually necessary to be done, what is sufficient for producing the /an adequate/ expectation of the benefit, is - the existence of a person, who regarding it as being for his interest to produce the public mischief is in a condition to confer on the individual under temptation a benefit sufficient to produce the corruptive effect

3. The next highest or third degree of efficiency is where to the receipt of the sinister and corruptive benefit a special act done in the intention of producing the public mischief is necessary.

    Of a given quality of the matter of corruptive

    influence, the efficiency is less and less, in proportion to

    the number of the persons whose mutually known concurrence

    is [necessary to the receipt of the corruptive benefit] and

    in proportion to the number and natural notoriety of the

    acts necessary on the part of each person necessary to the

    receipt of it: and where any penalty is attached to the conferring

    or to the receipt of the benefit, to the magnitude of

    the penalty, and the degree of propinquity and certainty

    and propinquity attached to the infliction of it.

    The case in which its efficiency is at the highest

    point is the that case in which the receipt of the competitive benefit takes place by means of an arrangement

    of law in the establishment of which no persons [now i.e.]

    living at the time of the receipt of the corruptive benefit have been borne

    concerned.; and it is in conformity to such arrangement that

    the act by which the receipt is effected has been performed.
