Exceptions excepted in no case shall homicide be
employed as a mode of punishment. Reasons against the
employment of it for this purpose, these:

1. In case of mis-sentence miscondemnation or other causes of , it is
It is unsusceptible of compensation or satisfaction in any other shape
to a party erroneously condemned, By this respect it is those his patrons
future of inaptitude it stands distinguished to its disadvantage from every other
mode of punishment whatsoever.

3. It is unproportionable: the a quantity incapable of being diversified varied
according in proportion to the quantity demanded by the degree of maleficence
on the part of the offence.

☞ Insert here suppose in a Note from Subrd. &c Ch XIV. Proportion
the list of the "circumstances which in establishing the proportion
"between punishments and offences are to be attended to".

4. It extinguishes a source likew of evidence: the evidence of
the individual likely to be beyond all other acquainted with the
circumstances of the alledged fact: and thence in case of miscondemnation
and the subsequent forthcomingness of evidence indicative
of the miscondemnation, throwing upon it such light in confirmation
or affirmation of it an opp as may would otherwise be lost

misprosecution accompanied with evil consciousness. A prosecution

witnesses and keeping true witnesses out of the way – true witnesses
who after may though tied have been given have been forthcoming might be in any number, but who
as their appearance would no longer be of any use, forbear to
subject themselves to the suffering, which to an undefinable amount
might be the result of them declaring themselves.
