?. Corruptive influence

5 Mode of operation

Corruptive influence is not the only instrument by which the only mode in which, as in the case of other misdeeds so in the case of a breach of trust, the commission of the misdeed and the production /birth/ of the evil with which it is pregnant, are /is/ capable of being brought about; Another, still more forcible, and, generally speaking, more efficient, is coercive power. This other mode is here mentioned as a distinct one because it is so in some cases. But /though/ when the mode /instrument/ in which the subornation is committed or endeavoured to be committed consists in nothing more than the withdrawing of profit in some shape in which either in possession or in expectancy it is an object of regard, this is among the modes in which /not only does/ the force applied comes under the appellation of corruptive influence; and it /this/ is even the most powerful and efficient shape in which corruptive influence can operate.
