1824. Decr. 7
Procedure Code
Ch. Means of execution
§, 3 – immediate and preparatory definitive and eventual

Wish indeed from the could be the observation of him who
speaking of these distinctions should rank them with merely biographical verbal ones.
the distinction he is In these distinctions are involved the difference between
prosperity and ruin; between life and death.

In every case, belong special causes of exception,
in every case if it be right for you to execu issue a decree for
the mans imprisonment of the man it will be right for you to
cause that decree to be executed. But it is not true
that in every case in which it will turn out to be right that you
should decree a man to be and cause such
decree to be executed, it would also be right that you should
at the commencement of the suit you should cause him
to be so dealt with.

Hence in relation to immediate means of execution an altogether necessary distinction – that
between immediate means of determinate definitive execution,
and immediate means of eventual execution. Only
to time and contingency does this distinction apply
means of imprisonment in the case above exemplified, means of imprisonment
as a means of definitive execution of the decree imprisonment
ordering decree: means of imprisonment as moreover at the
commencement of the suit, means of eventual execution,
employed at the commencement of the suit for giving
certainty to the execution of a sentence of imprisonment
should the time come for the pronouncing of such sentence.

But though the means employed as means of
execution may be the same as those that now
are expected to be and accordingly come to be employed as
means of definitive executive it is not by any means necessary neither necessary nor so much
as right nor right
that they should be so in every case. Of those means of
content exemption which as such will frequently be missing there
is not one by which the application of suffering in a shape more or less afflictive
is not produced. But so as the gold effect is produced, the less
afflictive the evil means by which it is produced the better:
whereas if therefore a means less afflictive than the definitive means of
execution suffers for securing the employment of them,
those means of eventual execution must ought to be – not the same with the means of definitive
execution but different ones.
