Instruments of delinquency – Ch.
§. Instruments what

4
Faculties immediately
acted upon by the use
of the above instruments
– by physical
force the corporal by Intimidation
& Allurement
the mental faculties
viz – the volitional & intellectual
by deception
the intellectual – the ultimate
effect of all is the
influencing the active
faculties.

Deception produces
deceivedness on the part
of the judgment. Deceivedness
has place when the
corruption deduced differs
from the matter of
fact. The defect on the
part of the deceiver is
the exercise of his active
faculties in a manner
different from what
would have been the
case had he entertained
a correct conception
of the matter of
Fact.

6
Indifferently productive
of good & evil
are – physical force
intimidation & allurement
sole instrument

direction to physical
force allurement intimidation
– exclusion to deception.

The evil produced
by a malefactor preponderant
only not
absolute. The pleasure
he promises himself
from the commission
of the offence if
reaped is a good as
far as it goes.
