1827 June 22nd
Penal Code

Division of Offences
§. Ch.

18
Denominations
already familiar
& susceptible of elucidation
and fixation
by exposition to
be employed & so
expounded.

19
Difficulty as to
words in familiar
use that some include
in their import not
only the idea of the
Act but that of its
being an Evil in its
quality whilst other
exhibit the
simple idea of the
fact.

20
Another difficulty
that of the distinction
between consummated
offences & accessory
acts – viz. attempts
& preparations.

21
Of denominations
in use the greater
names of consummated
offences, but
others of mere attempts
of preparations.

22
Further distinction
amongst accessory

Division of Offences
§. Ch.

22 continued
Acts some are so to
one species of consummated
offences others
may be accessory to
any consummate offence.
Example falsehood
in all its several
shapes may be accessory
to any consummate offence.

23
Anomaly exhibited
in the denominations
given to this Code.
Some being names of
acts in order to convey
the idea of prohibition
which constitutes
have the epithet wrongful prefixt
others convey that in
formation by the import
already attached
to the words.

23
Another anomaly that
in the list of offences –
are names of consummated
offences mixed
with names of attemts
& of preparations.

Division of Offences
§. Ch.

24 continued
names of acts with
the epithet wrongful 2nd cols. Such names
of offences which already
convey the idea
of wrongfulness.

25
Single worded denominations
preferable
to many worded
for avoidance of
complication & for
facility of compounding
with other words.

26
In some cases many
wordedness avoidable
without preponderant
embarrasment
in other shape evilness
fraudulent
obtainment correspondent
single worded denomination
for might be defraudation.

27
But before fraudulent
obtainment comes
stealing embezzlement
all having for their subject
matter the thing stolen
or fraudulently obtained
& which thing must
in all cases undergo
the same sort of testimony
as to its being converted
to the wrongdoer's use.
But by the word fraudation
of defraudation no idea
is conveyed of the thing but
only of the person wronged.
