Disablement

Sectn II.
of Disablement.

The

The next division of corporal punishments we
come to is disablement. This like discolourment
or disfigurement may be distinguished into transient
& permanent

It would be useless to enumerate here the
several members of the human body that are
liable to be disabled, nor the means that may
be employed for suspending or destroying their
respective functions. It has already been observed
that with a view to the several ends of penal
justice it would be not only useless but in some respects mischievous is unnecessary to have recourse to a
great variety of afflictive punishments, and that soon
it might be even be attended with considerable
inconvenience. If the law of retaliation were
followed the catalogue of possible punishments
would then be coextensive with that of offences
of the description of those in question. It may
from not however be altogether without use
to even enumerate small mention here some of by way of
illustration some of the or some of the members
which that have been or now are subject taken as
the subject for punishment of the description
of those in question

1. The eyes, may be made to suffer a disablement
of the transient kind by bandages or
marks: of the much perpetual kind by various
mechanical or chemical operations.

This species of punishment is not now in
use either in this country or in any other system of European jurisprudence
in Europe. It was formerly employed and
particular at Stan Constantinople under the
Greek Emperors, now it is no true not so much as a
punishment
