B.2.Ch. 3.
In this kind of punishment, the
whole earth so in relation to the delinquent
is divided as it were into two unequal districts;
the one of which is open to him and the other interdicted.
If the space palce in which he is confined is
a narrow space surrounded with walls and
the doors of which are locked, it is imprisonment.
If the district in which he is directed
to remain is within the dominions of the state
the punishment may be called Relegation If
it is without the dominions of the state the
punishment now is called Banishment.
The term relegation seems to import imply
that the delinquent is sent out of the district
in which he ordinarily resides — This punishment
may consist in his confinement in that district
where he ordinarily resides and even in his
own house it may then be called quasi imprisonment.
If it refers to a particular district
which he is prohibited from entering — it is a sort
of exclusion which has not yet a proper name
but which may be called local interdiction
Territorial Confinement is the sense which
includes 5 species — imprisonment — quasi
imprisonment — Relegation — Local Interdiction
and Banishment. —
