Of Exemptions from punishment Reasons

Question V.

Why Infancy is in no case made a ground
of total exemption.

Reasons

1. Because punishment in this case is neither
needless groundless, inefficacious unprofitable, nor needless. Where the infancy
is extreme, the party infant will stand
exempted in another ground: he will stand virtually be exempted
as being exculpated on the score of want some
of intention ground or grounds of extenuation; to wit, either
want of intention, ignorance of the law, or innocence
of intention. See Tit. [Simp. Pers. Injureas.]
§ [Of Excuses] It would not The consequences could
not but be highly pernicious if there were
any persons in the community, who, having being liable to have the
ability to do power and the will and the understanding to
produce the most atrocious mischiefs, were certain
of an absolute impunity.

Quest. VI

Why Infancy is in no case made a ground
of total exemption with respect to irreparable
and perpetual punishments?

Reasons

1. Lest the severity of the punishment in
such a case should produce a dissatisfaction among
the people. See above Quest. IV
