CERTAINTY RELUCTANCE to PROSECUTE It's 4 Causes. 3. the trouble of Prosecution, which applies is grievous <add>irksome itself to their
indolence.

That reluctance to prosecute which there is often os much cause to Cement may be accounted for in every instance from one or other
of 4 different causes — 1stthe lenity of the Law punishment in some instances, which applied
itself to men's humanity — 2d the expence of prosecution, which applies touches them on the side itself to
their Avarice — and these two must need be powerful in conjunction — 4thly a cause of
a very different seemingly opposite nature kind from that last mentioned which subsists in a great variety of instances, the infancy of
prosecuting, which applies operates in itself to their sense of Honour.

The first of these has been already considered in the Book on Punishments.

Of the 2d the Cure is as obvious simple and infallible, as the mischief discourse is conspicuous &
condemnable — It is but casting remaining <add>taking off+ the burthen from the suffering party on whom the already
injury has already sufficiently without being exasperated by an the additional suffering
of an expence, & improving on it alike all [together] of those who are to the whose benefit the
ex-ample of the Punishment redounds. — Tis the state which profits, why should it not
also pay. Consistency has not been much consulted by the Legislature, [howsoever the truth of]
this idea has been confirmed], where at the hazard of tempting the profligate to
interested calumny they have given positive and ample encouragement to prosecution
in the instance of some crimes; (enormous ones indeed) before the without removing the removal of subsisting
Discouragements.
