B 1. Ch.6.

death, as for example, the case of civil
war, when the mere existence of the head
of a party is sufficient to keep alive the
hopes and exertions of his partizans. In such
a case however, the guilt of the parties is
often problematic and such actions the punishment
of death savours more of vengeance than
of Law.

There are however cases in whichv the ability to do mischief may be taken away
with great economy of suffering. Has the
offence consisted in an abuse of power, in an
unfaithful discharge of duty, it is sufficient to
depose the delinquent, to remove him from
his the employment, the administration, the guardianship,
the trust, he has abused. This remedy may
equally he employed in domestic and political
government.

IX. Subserviency to Compensation.

A further property desirable in a lot of
punishment is, that it may be convertible to
profit.

When a crime is committed and
afterwards punished, there has existed
two lots of evil; – the evil of the Offence &
and the evil of the punishment. Whenever then
the effeevil of the offence falls upon a
specific person, if the punishment yield a profit let the profit arising from
the punishment it be given to that person. The
evil of the offence will be removed and there
will then only exist one lot of evil instead of two.
