Indirect Legislation § 7

§7 Physical

2

Examples — Allowance of
Man-traps &
Spring-guns &c

To this head belongs whatever the legislator may
think it advisable to do in the way of permitting
or regulating the practice of laying snares,
[such as [the engines called] man-traps and
spring-guns] for thieves and other criminal intruders
This applies to theft, and to robbery, to wrongful occupation
whether
with or without
force; and thereby
to wrongful and
forcible entry: also
to destruction
or endamagement whether clandestine or with or without
forcible: force: and less directly, to offences against
person, and particularly to all offences against
person and reputation both, unless it
be ordinary seduction.

Prohibition of
anti-siphylic preventitives.

With us A certain class of men moralists are
apt to be scandalized take offence at every endeavour expedient which
is employd by medical art for the prevention
as or alleviation of any of the diseases
or other inconveniences which are
apt to ensue from the unhallow'd gratification
of the venereal appetite. If their
sentiments were adopted and put into action
by a law and the use of such
expedients prohibited
or discouraged
, such law would come under the
present head. Upon the ascetic principle the introduction
of these diseases by the authority of law, taking care to get the
pain alone without the
pleasure
[taking care
to cleanse the pain of whatever impure admixture of pleasure
might adhere to it] would have been as bad expedient against incontinence
