_"Corporations have no Souls," &c._ (Vol. viii., p. 587.).--In Poynder's
_Literary Extracts_, under the title "Corporations," there occurs the
following passage:
"Lord Chancellor Thurlow said that corporations have neither bodies to
be punished, nor souls to be condemned; they therefore do as they
like."
There are also two long extracts, one from Cowper's _Task_, book IV., and
the other from the _Life of Wilberforce_, vol. ii., Appendix, bearing on
the same subject.
