Law Amendment or Penal CodePropositions
Malice. If in this case malice meant anything, it would be translated
as above. But it does not mean anything: anything, except
the a desire that in the breast of the Judge by whom the word was
first put to this its use had place – the desire to save the defendant suffer
the extremity of punishment. Malice is from the late malus, but
what did meant the Judge mean by in this case by the word bad: bad
something anything that he disapproved of or would be thought to disapprove of.
6. Incongruity 6th. Fixation of times lengths of time a special time for changes which may take
place a one time as after one length of time as well as
another: imaginary correspondence on the degrees of guiltness
and with appointment of corresponding degrees of punishment:
two such degrees when appointed, when the number
of shades or degrees on the scale of maleficence and depravity is
indefinite. Example
1. Day of Death within less than a year dated from the
day of the wound act of , this aft manslaughter the name of
the offence, and a year's length the corporal punishment
no other than simple imprisonment (for the braiding his
lay been absolute) and a years length the maximum
of its length: less than a year not customary: add
to the length worth no more than a single day, name
of the offence murder, and marked so obscurely and
improperly stiled capital, the punishment.
2. Premeditation: so vast a difference as that depending upon the difference choice) between the manslaughter
punishment and the murder punishment made to depend up
depend upon the absence or presence of premeditation
and is fixt or at any rate is very narrowly built
length of time appointed, vis that at the end of which whatsoever
be the other circumstances of the case, the existence of this
state of mind shall
be assumed.
