Panopticon versus
Move to p.54

He observes - and with great truth - (3. IV. Ch.1) that if the crown
takes all every thing, there remains nothing for any body else. But
is it necessary or right, that where while private damage remains
uncompensatable, the Crown, or any bodyin the name of the
Crown should take every thing? The of this question
is what he found it much as- more convenient — to assume,
than to as it would have been found it difficult to prove
"As the public order (says he) is not otherwise avenged Comment. B.IV. Ch.1.
"than by forfeiture of life and property, it is impossible
"afterwards to make any reparation for the private
"wrong." — But is it necessary or right, that while damage
remains without reparation — injury, without redress — the
Crown, or any body in the name of the Crown, should King - that is 73 who has no damage — that is
it as 73 in the name of the King — should
take every thing — should swipe away the whole of that
fund from which reparation might have been afforded.
The affirmation was found as easy to assume, as it would
have been difficult to prove.

(b) "We seldom hear any mention made of satisfaction to the
"individual; (says he:) — "the satisfaction to the community"
(viz: by the obstruction of one of its members) "being so very
"great. And indeed continu as the public crime" continues
In, as above, giving the reason which satisfies him, he is so well satisfied with, as
above. (a) In pressure distinction marks of distinction above (a) Least and most enormous — denominations not very <add>distinctive </add>
it must be confessed: but would
the words the established terms felony, word civil injury, misdemeanour, , felony, would they have been
more so? Under the primaeval and everlasting chaos, the mode of nature of the punishment or the mode
of procedure or some such other purely collateral word accidental circumstances
a circumstance purely accidental, as the mode of procedure, the mode of punishment or even (as in felony) the disposition made of the precursory produce of the punishment is the only source of distinction from whence the grand leading divisions
of in the system of offences delinquency are denominated. The nature of the
mischief, continues to be as it was at first as it was in the beginning so is now it to this day a point too little
understood, or too little slightly regarded, in legislative practice to be capable of being applied
to any such purpose in discourse.
