Punishments
Descent of property
in case of
perpetual punishment
When any person is sentenced to perpetual
confinement & Hard Labour wha what remains of his effects &
all his rights beneficial & fiduciary shall pass from him
descend to his representatives in the same manner
as if he were dead.
So if he were sentenced to perpetual
Imprisonment: but in this case the Judge may
appoint him a certain allowance out of the
said effects.
The Judge upon assigning a particular
reason may in such case suspend the disposal
of the effects: for instance the expectation of evidence
tending to an acquittal or mitigation: or
the expectation of further claimants.
Power to make
a Testament
The Court may also indulge the criminal
with liberty to make a testament: but not all
after seeing and approving it.
Dissolution of
Marriage
The sentence of perpetual punishment
if the offender be married, his marriage is of
course dissolved: unless the Court for several clauses
postpone the dissolution.
