1821. April 17.
First Lines Penal Law.
(4.)
Satisfaction has been distinguished into lucrative
and vindictive. Lucrative is satisfaction in any shape, considered
otherwise than with a view to vengeance, Vengeance
is vindictive satisfaction is satisfaction in any shape, considered
with a view to vengeance.
In no shape or quantity should suffering be created
for the single purpose of affording satisfaction of the
vindictive kind.
Only, when, for the sake of others the community at
large, punishment is inflicted, if there be any shape by which,
without encrease of suffering to the wrong doer, satisfaction to
the individual wronged, may be administered, that shape may
be employed.
By that shape, the apprehension of the eventual punishment
may, moreover, be rendered the more impressive
upon the mind of him on which on whom the temptation to do the
wrong is operating.
Go on to show the pleasure
of revenge can
never be equal to
the accompanying
pain on all sides.
