B. 1. Ch.1
Determent is a result equally applicable to
the case either of a positive or negative offence.
It is moreover equally applicable to the situation
of the already punished delinquent and that
of other persons at large – nor does it involve
on the part of the punished delinquent
the supposition of any such general disorder as
is implied by the words amendment or
reformation.

Note continued
If any Juryman did it in the view of making Mr Wilkes amends
for the pain he had suffered by the supposed injury in question in such
Juryman it was an act of compensation.
If any Juryman thinking himself in danger of suffering in the like
or any other manner from Lord Halifax & persons liable to act as he
did it with the view of preventing such suffering it was an act
of Self-preservation.
It seems not improbable that all or most of the Jurymen
might have had all or most of these views: if so the act in question
might not improperly be ranked under all or most of these denominations.
