XII Remissibility
A lot of punishment may possess the property
of remissibility. It is true that
a punishment once inflicted cannot be recalled
and in so far it may be said to be irremissible.
What then can be done How then are we to
act if after the infliction of the punishment
it be discovered that the supposed offender is
innocent? All that the case admits of is to
endeavour to make compensation. Different
modes of punishment admit of the application
of this species of remedy in different degrees
of perfection. In the case of pecuniary punishment
the difficult is reduced to its smallest amount;
but in the case of acute punishments such as
whipping branding &c. the determining in each case by what
precise sum of money in each case the
suffering shall be wiped away is an operation
that cannot so readily be performed. The
most perfectly irremissible of any is capital
punishment. In all other cases the unfortunate
victim ma be adequately compensation: in this
he cannot.
