1831 Sept 20
Const CodeCh. XXV Justice Minister
§. 5 Dispunition
(5)

36
In this Pannomion punishment
and remission
will be adjusted to one
another: Penal and
Procedure Code, to the
part of the Constitutional:
thence no repugnancy,
no inconsistency.

36(a)
In fact, settled were
these exceptions, antecedently
to the rules.

37
By ringing the changes
on these heads, draughtsman
will be fitted for
melioration-suggestion.

38
Of any new ground
for remission Justice
Minister will make
report to Legislature,
suspending execution
till its determination
is made known.

39
Under this Code, of bo
punishment remission
being made but
for some declared justificative
cause.
Pardon, mercy, and
their conjugates are not
in it.

40.
Pardon power supposes tyranny;
its exercise relaxation
of tyranny. Exercise of
punishment power, without
obligation, a tyranny.
True, tyranny is better not
exercised. But wherever on
adequate grounds obligation of
inflicting punishment is imposed
by law – better is it inflicted
than not: punished,
should be the non-infliction.

41.
Behold now the evil
effect of the laud bestowed
on this power
by the unreflecting
multitude: the more
maleficent the tyranny
the stronger the
support thus given to
it.

42.
The more oppressive
the tyranny, the more
good by non-exercise;
thence the more praise.
Thus it is in a Monarchy.

43.
Most lauded the most
maleficent tyrants –
1. Roman Emperors
2. Oriental Despots:
lauded for every man
let live. To God man
avescreation; to King
preservation.

44.
Of course eulogy most
extactic poured forth
by long-robed sycophants.
1. Per Lawyers, most
valuable jewel of the
Crown
2. Per Priests, an
attribute lent by the
Almighty.

45.
Thus by sceptered hypocrites
is praise filched
from the deluded people.

46.
Not less true than paradoxical,
popularity gained by tyranny.

47.
Pardon imports habitual
tyranny showing mercy,
actual exercise of tyranny.
Pardon and mercy are
tyranny in a mask.
