Analogy
Ins:
before it has proved mortal: the dose, and the time
given to it to operate being settled fixed by the Judge
upon report of Surgeons. What further punishment
should in this case be applied is a question that
does not belong to the present subject.
In some offences a characteristic feature circumstance may
be a disguise, [to wit a change of personal appearance]
assumed by the offender for the sake of facilitating
him in the commission of the offence.⊞ ⊞ A mask or a black crepe over the face is the implement commonly employ'd. This circumstance
adds to the demand for punishment in
two says [on two accounts]. On the one hand, by
before augmenting the terror, it augments the
mischief of the offence: on the other hand, by
diminishing the probability, it diminishes the real
as well as apparent value of the punishment. A
disguise similar to that which the was voluntary assumed
for the purpose of the crime, may be stamped
upon him in augmentation of the punishment.
This penal disguise would require to be evanescent
or indelible, according as the imprisonment was
temporary or perpetual. If evanescent it might be
produced by washing with black wash: if
indelible, by tattooing. The use of such a punishment
will be more particularly striking in premeditated vindictive
murder, rape, personal injuries attended
with permanent mischief, and crimes of indigence
when accompanied with force or terror.
