Law Amendment or Penal CodePropositions

By a mixture of fraud and delusion imbecility in
the shape of a delusive sentimentality opposition is apt to
be excited to the conclusion of reason on this subject. Till
as particular instances took place, to the Roman lawyers it has
been observed, no such conception had ever presented itself
as that parricide was of the number of crimes into the guilt of which
it was in the power of human nature to plunge itself. If a
man's father were not himself a man, there would be
somewhat none of reasonableness in this its observation than
as the case stands, can be found in it.

No crime can be so atrocious, as that &c From whatever is meant by atrocity, no valid
reason can be drawn from the atrocity of a crime, no reason why the
by the legislator, impunity should be left to it: rather in
the direct than in the inverse ratio of its atrocity, say
rather for clearness sake of the maleficence of it is on the
part of the legislators the demand for anxiety and industry endeavour
towards in the prevention of it. From the mischievousness of its
would it afford any excuse for negligence on the part of
the physician?
