G.B. 1818. June 9.
Penal Code

53.
Evidence a term of
reference – preappointed
evidence.

54.
At first sight, it may
appear best to present
first to view the relation
between husband
and wife, as
the source of all other
relations.

55.
But confusion the
result – in the relation
of husband and
wife included that
of Guardian & Wife.

56.
So that of Master and
Servant.

57.
Each relation would
therefore be to be considered
first mixed
up with the two other
relations, and afterwards
separately, under
it's own head.

58.
One thing at a time,
and where several
objects must be considered
together, as
small a number
at a time as possible.

59.
Practical conclusions –
1. Between penal
and non-penal offences,
no clear line
of distinction.

60.
2. In Penal Code, every
act characterised as
an offence, should be
mentioned.

61.
3. Definitions of offences
ought to be given.

62.
4. For the list of such
offences, penal Code
a proper receptacle.

63.
5. Not necessary for
the whole of expository
matter to be in
penal Code.

64.
6. Remaining expository
matter to constitute
Civil Code, with
reference to it from
penal Code.

65.
Examples as to expositions
of the words
title, right & interest.

66.
Objections to this list
of Offences.
1. Superfluity & needlessness.

67.
2. Misplacedness their
needless complication
and disorder.

68.
3. Excessive and needless
severity and thence
mischievousness
of the Code.

69.
These objections
not overlooked.

---page break---

70.
First objection as to
novelty of the names.

71.
Answer – necessity of
definitions, conveying
clear and correct
conceptions of
the ideas.

72.
Of the nature and
mischief of the act,
an intimation conveyed
by the name.

73.
So an indication
of the place it occupies
in the Code,
and of the remedial
proceeding provided
against the extension
of the mischief.

74.
If the matter were inserted
in the form
of a groupe of ordinances,
inconvenience
would be the
result.

75.
Necessity of symmetry
for the purposes
of ultimate clearness,
correctness and compleatness.

76.
Object that domestic
relationship
being an aggravation,
all offences,
coupled with this aggravation,
require
separate consideration.
