exclusively of non performance

account of the public.

of importance
and extent on
2. Non payment of loans
this being exacted of all
to this
Non-reddition of military
service.
3. Non-
on the part of functionaries
of all grades
and classes.

As between individual
and individual,
scarcely has can any
instances be found of
a case in which a negative
offence – has a
separate denomination
of its own.

By omission to administer
food left over
may be
to life: incidentally
where the individual
to whom it ought to have
been administered is a
state of imprisonment
or quasi-imprisonment:
to an unbounded
extent in case
of helpless
but every case of this
sort is under
under the name of homicide
a name which
unless where the contrary is presented
to view, never
fails to produce the idea
of a positive use.

Sources of Division as
to Offences

Reason for multiplying
them, minimizing the
individual instance of delinquency:
or of the quantum
of ultimate mischief from
delinquency: viz. by
maximizing
preventive sistitive and indemnification.

☞ Collect the sources from
Dumont.

Offences permanent & impermanent
or say transient.
Correspondent to permanent
offences are chronical
wrongs.

Permanence an aggravation.
Mention here the division
into Offences principal
and accessory.

Also that of into
Offences positive and negative.

One subsection of Offences
negative is non prevention
of the wrong
or mischief that would
be done by the correspondent
offence positive.
Such non-prevention
may be considered as
a mode of accessorist.

an accessory to the purpose
of indemnity his carriage
he in it or not, remains over .

field a cloud is thrown
by the division made of offences
on the ground of the punishments
and other remedies
employed against
them.
1. Treason
2. Felony
3. Felony
4.
5. Misdemeanour
6. Trespass

This applies particularly
as to the question who are
principals, who accessories.
Ulterior classification
in Justice of Peace Law.
☞ Consult the late Act
for the present .
I Disorderly persons?
II Rogues and Vagabonds
III Incorrigible Rogues?

Offence Accessory – a preparation
– conjunctively
and indiscriminately
with relation to
1.
2. Disablement &c.
