Rewards to accomplices
A whale has no arms resource against a mite. After all, the The t real
objection against it truth of the matter in this case is that is attended
with some danger inconvenience and no advantage. With no ad-
-vantage: for why a man first to death will -vantage: I mean if the reward is offer'd for the killing simply &
not for apprehending: for why will not not the seizure of the person be sufficient? why take
the business out of the hands of the ordinary executioner? With
some inconvenience: for being harsh it will be apt
to be unpopular: especially with those who see consider that
it is unnecessary: besides it may endanger innocence:

the solemnities upon which depends a considerable
part of the good effects of punishment: it is not attended
with the ignominy: you treat him rather as an
enemy than as a criminal. You preclude yourself
from hearing such pleas as [he might have to urge might serve to indicate the
in extenuation of propriety of his guilt: or as grounds for] exempting
him from punishment: for as to his guilt,

of extenuation as well as aggravation
attending that may have accompanied it, I take for granted has
been settled by a trial. In the event of his having
accomplices, you debar yourself of the chance which
you might otherwise have of coming at them by his
means.
