1829. April 6th
The title of an act to the denomination
of an offence depends upon the act of a Legislator
or his substitute the Judge.
If in the country in contrary question no act but
those which are preponderately maleficent
were our offence the law would so far be in
a state of absolute perfection. To render the
perfection complete nothing more is requisite
than the maximum of economy in respect of
the quantity of punishment or reward or both
and the machinery employed in the course
of procedure in the application of them.
