Context:
Explicitly quoted by Alex Preston to illustrate how smugglers were seen as operating outside unjust laws rather than natural justice. The specific quote describes a smuggler as 'a person who, though no doubt highly blamable for violating the laws of his country, is frequently incapable of violating those of natural justice' — used to explain the Robin Hood-like perception of smugglers in the 18th century.
