Indirect Legislation

Accessory

[As to the punishment which it may be
proper to annex to accessory offences and the
proportion which such punishment ought to bear
to what is annexed to the principal, these the details are
of this enquiry matters which belong not to the present design.]
If the punishment of the inchoate preliminary offence be
equal to that of the [consummated offence] same offence
when consummated, without any allowance made
for prudential desistment or repentance, the offender
wherever he knows he must be punished for
the preliminary offence will see that he has the
liberty given him of consummating it for nothing.
If the evidentiary punishment of an evidentiary
offence be less than that of the principal, it is
an instance of punishment reduced pro modo
probationum. This plan is followd principle is adopted in the British
act abovementioned relative to the receivers of
stolen metals. Convicted by direct proof of the principal offence
the offender would suffer death: convicted of the evidentiary
offence his punishment is reduced to . . .
