The grounds of that disapprobation are stated upon
the fac

— One is Two objections are there made — 1. that such burning been though being intended
as a punishment is in the character of a punishment
that point of view "often disregarded and ineffectual."
The proposed identification-mark neither
is a punishment nor is intended as a punishment, so to be.
does not fall within the censure

The circumstances Of the two circumstances, (pain and constant exposure) that render contribute to the infamy an inevitable
consequence of that effective mode of marking
there is not one that neither has any place in the
instance of this mild and innocent one.

What constitutes the infamy

The mode of producing the mark there meant
to be produced is not only a painful one, but perhaps
the most painful of any that could be devised: and
this one mode besides the corporal suffering which it punishment it contains
neither in itself involves adds to the infamy by the certainty proof
it
