frequently be found to belong to both these
classes. Among the incidents sources of difference disturbance which are liable to

be the standard of propriety as well as the safeguard
of virtue, how can any punishment which that
tribunal desires and inflicts be justly and consistently be deemed justly laxed with exorbitancy. excessive.
