for the effort of Prevention operation in the way If then the money sum
taken from the offender for the purpose of being given in compensation
to the sufferer party injured damaged be no more than is requisite to be taken
from him for the purpose of Prevention, the benefit whatever
it be that results from Compensation is so much clear
gain. But can it in any case be ore? and if it
may, is it in such case of use upon the whole that
it should be taken the delinquent should be made to suffer such extra Punishment for the single purpose of Compensation?
These are questions of great practical importance
and which merit will deserve to be examined.

For this purpose it will be necessary to mark out
some distinctions in the nature of the different several cases

which if it be ever come ever to be converted into actual pain
falls not upon any individuals that can be marked
out at the time of the offence or at any assignable time after. As too the pains of
apprehension
