In the case of Where burthen in any shape
is the subject matter of the operation designated by the
name of distribution the penal and thence the imperative
character is less prominent: it is however much
more so than when benefit is the thing distributed, the
idea of suggested by the word suffering being associated with the idea
suggested with by the word punishment burthen as well as by the
idea suggested by the word punishment.
From this (it is believed it will, it is hoped) be
sufficiently evident manifest that by without a clear conception observation made
of the its relation to this of its matter to that of the Penal
Code no clear conception can be obtained of the nature of any portion
of the matter which is commonly to which mention is commonly made to enter into
the composition of the mass designated by the appellation of
a Civil Code.
The To the want of the indication thus
afforded may be ascribed that confused and
appearance presented by the whole mass of the Roman
Rome bred body of law comes to the for the designation
of which Written and Unwritten, together Statutory and
Legislator made and Judge-made Penal as well as Non-penal
commonly placed the whole of it without distinction
under the several denominations of Roman Law and Civil
Law.
In that part for example which bears the appellation of
the Institutes of Justinian the work wears the appearance rather
of a course of lectures delivered for the purpose of giving an explanation
of a mass of enactment emanating from and sanctioned by one emanating
from the a legislator, thence the very work emanating from and sanctioned by the legislator
himself.
