Where Were nothing further necessary to the purpose, the
list of these several definition, (considered as being so many
instruments employed in the process of affording, security
against this several so many acts, by the exercise of which, in
so far as they are exercised security is broken in upon & lessened,) might
without any apparent incongruity impropriety be allotted to the branch
of Law herein question — viz the Civil or Distributive Branch.
But such are the temptations by which, in the instance of
each such exciting stimulating offence, men are liable to be invited to the exercise
of it, that unless, for the purpose of restraining them
from the commission of those acts respectively, inducements
of the nature of punishment were employed &
announced, every such definition so sent abroad without support
would be a dead letter & as such be without effect. Penal
Law is the same given to that therefore the branch of Law which occupies
itself in the distribution of burthens to the intent
of their having the effect of punishments. to each act to
which a place is given in the list of offences and designated
by their several denominations & definitions, its appropriate
punishments or apartments of punishments.
Thus it is that so much of the matter of Law as is occupied
in the affording of security in these its several
modes is universally & with indisputable propriety considered
as belonging to the branch of Law denominated
Penal Law.
