Law Amendment or Penal Code
Thus much as to the Judicial authority: now as to
the Legislative. Never would The proceedings of the Legislative authority
be so compleatly destitute in a state of such compleat insubordination of all reference to the greatest happiness
principle as those of the Judge.
In the history of civilization, if not the commencement, the
frequent exercise of the legislative authority forms a period
separate of later date with reference to that in which power
was not exercised otherwise than by transient mandate of
the Executive department authority and individual decision and mandate
of the Judge: mandates of the Executive authority being given
without, and those of the judicial authority with and in consequence
of litiscontestation commenced by commencing with application made
by this or that individual in the character of plaintiff.
English history presents to our view a period during
which the mandates of a King were not regarded as having decidedly
a binding force longer than during his life: no instructive
observation then for which English jurisprudence is enabled
to Judge Barrington, that is to say to his work intituled Observations
on the Statutes.
