Indirect Legislation
Non-seduction 9
Rewards to accomplices
On this head [the English law, rules and practise
taken together, takes preserves a proper medium] the
course taken medium preserved by the English law, taking the rules and
the practise of it together, seems not to be injudicious.
As to of the employing rewards to engage assistance it all hands in its
makes no scruple: but tbe assistance it bespeaks it it servis it makes no scruple nor exception: but as to the
employs manner in which it employs the service
which it bespeaks of them it puts sends them upon is not to put the enemy
to death but to take him prisoner: in the event
of its being impossible to secure him prevent his escape by any other
means [than the last extremity] it gives indemnity,
but no reward. Qu. ? This at least seems to be the policy determination
of the common customary law, to judge from the authorities.
Perhaps it would not do altogether amiss if in atrocious
cases it gave a small reward even though
such extremities should have become necessary. At
present if it came to a push a man would rather
let the most notorious criminal escape than secure
him at that rate: [since] by killing him there would
be nothing to be got, and upon his
the escape of the
criminal the chance of the reward would only be
weaken'd, [while] by his death it would be utterly put
an end to destroyed.
Caput lupinum - Pretender.
