Here A, at the time of first moving the ring, commits theft. (i) A delivers his watch to Z, a jeweler, to be regulated. Z carries it to his shop. A, not owing to the jeweler any debt for which the jeweler might lawfully detain the watch as a security, enters the shop openly, takes his watch by force out of Zs hand, and carries it away. Here A, though he may have committed criminal trespass and assault, has not committed theft, in as much as what he did was not done dishonestly. (j) If A owes money to Z for repairing the watch, and if Z retains the watch lawfully as a security for the debt, and A takes the watch out of Zs possession, with the intention of depriving Z of the property as a security for his debt, he commits theft, in as much as he takes it dishonestly.

(k) Again, if A, having pawned his watch to Z, takes it out of Zs possession without Zs consent, not having paid what he borrowed on the watch, he commits theft, though the watch is his own property in as much as he takes it dishonestly. (l) A takes an article belonging to Z out of Zs possession without Zs consent, with the intention of keeping it until he obtains money from Z as a reward for its restoration. Here A takes dishonestly; A has therefore committed theft. (m) A, being on friendly terms with Z, goes into Zs library in Zs absence, |

Here A takes dishonestly; A has therefore committed theft. (m) A, being on friendly terms with Z, goes into Zs library in Zs absence, and takes away a book without Zs express consent for the purpose merely of reading it, and with the intention of returning it. Here, it is probable that A may have conceived that he had Zs implied consent to use Zs book. If this was As impression, A has not committed theft. (n)A asks charity from Zs wife. She givesA money, food and clothes, which A knows to belong to Z her husband. Here it is probable that Amay conceive that Zs wife is authorised to give away alms. If this was As impression, A |

If this was As impression, A has not committed theft. (o) A is the paramour of Zs wife. She gives a valuable property, which A knows to belong to her husband Z, and to be such property as she has no authority from Z to give. If A takes the property dishonestly, he commits theft. (p) A, in good faith, believing property belonging to Z to be As own property, takes that property out of Zs possession. Here, as A does not take dishonestly, he does not commit theft.
