C
Forfeiture of Reputation

natural quantum of disrepute: though something likewise
may be supposed to be contributed by it in point of intensity
on account of the certainty which it gives to men's
opinions of the delinquency of the offender. Even this
measure, mode of proceeding mild as it may appear, is capable of various
degrees of severity according to the various degrees of
publicity that may be given to the fact. It may be registered
in a written instrument to which few people have
access; it may be registered in a written instrument
to which any person may have access. It may be notified
by proclamation, by sound of trumpet, by beat of Drum.
Since the invention of printing it may be recorded in indelible
characters and circulated through the whole state.(a)

Note.

(a) In certain offences against the Police, for instance, in selling
bread by short weight it is not an uncommon thing where the degree
of delinquency appears to be considerable for the magistrate to
threaten the offender that upon the next conviction he shall be advertised
in the Newspapers. Such a punishment seems to be
looked upon as more severe than the fine imposed by Statute.
