the account of Compensation were in case of the party's death
to be exacted on the account of punishment. But in
practice this is perhaps no where hitherto the case: in many cases if
a Sum so due be not exacted on the account of compensation,
it is not exacted at all: so much of the punishment
sinks altogether. The guilty person is pro

has fallen a victim to his crimes. Here then is always
a certain quantity of punishment extinguishable upon a contingency
which depends not in any degree upon the innocence
of the offender. This quantity will be always form a very

injured innocence sinks without redress, falls unaddressed, and the offender
triumphs in his guilt. offence.
