leads us to enquire into the different measures of infamy
that stand naturally annext to the several modes of punishment;
and in the course of this enquiry we shall
find reason to distinguish certain punishments from the
rest by the special epithet of infamous, ignominious infamous.
A certain degree of infamy or disrepute we have
already remarked is what necessarily attends on every
kind of political punishment. But there are some that
reflect a much larger portion of infamy than others.(a) These
therefore it is plain are the only ones which can be stated
properly by that name.
Upon
Note.
(a) Aware of this circumstance, the Roman Lawyers have
taken a distinction between the infamia facti and the infamia
juris: the natural Infamy resulting from the offence,
and the artificial infamy produced through the means of
the punishment by the Law. See Heinecc: Elementa Jur. Civil:
Pand. L.3. Tit.2. §.399 whose explanation however is not
very precise.
