Law Amendments.

Sole Motive, sport – mere wanton curiosity to witness the
effect: the act indiscriminately or even exclusively intentional
with relation to the production of the fatal event.

Demand for punishment in this case less considerably less
than in the case where the motive was pecuniary desire
or malevolence. Why? Because the in this case the
form of the motive being so weak in comparison of what it is apt
want to be in those, smaller suffering to a correspondently smaller amount
the produce the if not the originally preventive, the repetition-preventive
effect.⊞ ⊞ Imposed on Encrease to a degree
shorter by most the
the utmost it is susceptible
of, the burthen of satisfaction
to post obituary representatives,
or in their
an equivalent fine
may be rendered sufficient
adequate to the purpose. By If sympathy for the slayee,
antipathy stronger in this case than in those, towards the
slayer may be a natural consequence. But – not to
gratify antipathy, how laudable so ever its efficient cause
but to prevent sufferance is the proper object of penal law.

For the other motives by which birth may be given
to an act of homicide, see title Duelling.

Infinitely numerous are the degrees of
which the probability of the sort of act is susceptible as to
its being followed by the fatal event: and the less the probability
the less conclusive will be the evidence probable of will the
the intention maleficent act be of the design to produce the
fatal maleficent act. But so as if the the existence of such design
be established, no matter how low the degree of such probability,
was at the product of the commission of the maleficent act.
Why. Answer. Because from the circumstance here brought to view, neither do
the danger nor the alarm
experience any considerable
difference.
