Penal Code B.1. General Titles
Ch. VII. III Division of Offences
§. . Principal & accessory

Add Legislate the purpose

For distinguishing two different groups of offences
as if there were existed between those of the one group and those
of the other a real fixt and assignable distinction difference the words
civil offences and criminal offences have sometimes
been employed. But the separation distinction being purely arbitrary,
and the terms having the bad effect of prejudging
the question, and assuming that which remains to be ought to have been proved
no such distinction is employed here.

Terms of distinction and which in some
Codes have been employed as sources of division, are
between offences and misdemeanours and faults. ☞ See Code and for the words. Those several classes of offence
are in fact distinguished from each other: viz. by the quantity
of the punishments which are respectively allotted attached or considered as being
such as ought respectively to be allotted attached. But those
differences in respect of the quantity of punishment, in
what circumstances is the nature, effect and tendency
of the several offences are they grounded?
