Analogy
That the mode of punishment adopted should
bear an analogy to the crime to which it
is applied may be of use as we have seen on three accounts.† † Ch. Properties &c p.10.
It in remains to be shewn by what contrivances
this property may be given to a sum lot of
punishment.
The being able to compass this effect will
depend partly upon the nature of the punishment,
partly upon the nature of the crime.
For this purpose it is necessary that the crime
should be attended with some striking characteristic circumstance
or circumstances capable of being transferred into upon the punishment.
These characteristic circumstances will be in different
crimes be different. 1 In some crimes the
offending member may constitute a characteristic
circumstance: 2d in others the instrument of mischief
[not being any part of the offender's body person
but a foreign body.] 3. In others it may be the
part affected by the crime. In This circumstance
it is plain can subsist only where there is a party injured,
and whose person is the object of the injury. 4. In others it may be the⊞ ⊞ thing which is the [material] subject of the
offence. This takes place may subsist in the case where
the offence consists in the making some alteration
in the sensible properties of a material
object. 5. In others it may be some change produced
