Quote #10
"Nay, lass! If I'm found wi' Sir Fletcher's property, that's a hanging offense. Attempted theft is only flogging or mutilation." (35.89)
It seems that possession of personal property is an offense punishable by death. Given that people seem to get away with murder, rape, and all sorts of other crimes all the time, we find this a little backward.
