Penal Code Introduction

§of thePower of the law to promote happiness – whole of the average
limited to its efficiency.

The accession made to human the cloak of happiness

The service rendered to mankind by every that thing that is actually done
by the law power of the law is extremely small in comparison
of that which is done made by the expectation of what it eventually
will do: what it makes in the way of does by affording compensation in comparison
of what it is expected eventually to do in the way of punishment.

In the way of compensation it makes not any positive
addition to the stock of happiness: all it does is to reduce the a
defalcation that would had been made from the stock of
happiness: it creates not any inducement of felicity: towards
augmentation or rather lessening the diminution in the state of
felicity all that it can do is by transferring a portion of
the stock of those inducements from a pass hands in which it
would have produced less into hands into which it will
produce more felicity. This is the utmost which it does in the most
favourable case. This most favourable case is where at the
charge of a very highly required man are required indigent man
who has declined injury at the hands of a rich man, it
affords him compensation at the charge of the rich man
happen that taking advantage of the injury to promote a
quality without for detriment to security, it renders the
condition of the indigent man at the expence of the rich
man, better than it was before the injury. Still however
along with the good thus done, factitious evil enabled by the law is
mixt

On the other hand whatsoever of good is produced by
expectation of what the law will eventually do, all this good
is pure.

Where Access to the system of judicatories being fairly having has received
the maximum of facilitation, the beneficial influence of the
system of law will be not directly but unwisely as the number of causes is first consumed within a given space of time.⊞ ⊞ Not so where instead of facilitation is experience obstruction to so enormous a degree as law everywhere been customary at the hands of legislators and judges
