5 Mode of operation

Corruptive influence operating by subornation supposes profit - the matter of good in some shape or other to belong to /have /bear a/ part in/ the case: to have place either in possession or in expectancy; and whether in possession or in expectancy, capable of being left in possession or taken away; if in expectancy, caused or suffered to come into possession, or prevented from so doing so.

On the occasion of /In respect of/ the application of corruptive influence, in respect /on the occasion/ of subornation, the part taken by the suborner may be 1. an active one /part/ or a passive one /part/.

It may be active in either of two ways /modes/: 1. either simply active namely by taking advantage of the /a/ connection already established between the profit of the misdeed on the one part and the commission of that same misdeed on the other and thus /thereupon/ producing the misdeed; or doubly active, namely by not only taking advantage and producing the misdeed as above, but for the express purpose of such production, giving birth to /creating/ the profit itself.
