C 11

Of Accessory Offences

From p. 13. No 1

24

Question I.

Why attempts, prosecuted to the utmost, are required
to be treated nearly as if they had succeeded?

Reasons

1. Because the danger of similar enterprises on
the part of the same delinquent is not varied
by the casual want of success.

2. Because Neither is the alarm in any great
degree. Now the alarm danger and the alarm constitute
together the secondary mischief of the offence;
in comparison of which the primary mischief is but a
trifling concern.+ + See Introd. Ch. [Consequences &c]

There is indeed no primary mischief in the
case: and accordingly that part of the punishment
which is made to follow the proportion of the primary
mischief is remitted.

25

Question II

Why not only repentance, but desistment through
fear, are made grounds of extenuation?

Reasons

In order to make it the interest of the offender
to persevere as little as possible in his defence offence:
so that he may always find his account
rather in flying than in resisting.
