B.2. Ch.2
Has an offence been committed at some
public exhibition, It may be well to prohibit
the delinquent from attending such public
exhibitions for a time.
Among simply restrictive punishments,
there is one of which a few examples
are found and which has not received a name.
I have called it Banishment from the presence.
It consists in an obligation imposed upon the
offender to immediately to leave the place in
which he meets with the offended party. The
simple presence of the one is a signal for
the departure of the other. If Silius the
party injured, enters a Ball or Concert Room
a public assembly or public walk –Titius
is bound instantly to leave the same. This
punishment appears admirably well suited for
cases of personal insult, attacks upon honour
& calumnies in a word in all crimes which
render the presence of the offender particularly
disagreeable and mortifying to the party offended.
It is not necessary that Banishment
