inflicted in any one place according to law, the same may
be inflicted in any other place by of law.
At any rate no harm can follow from the Supposition
Another thing to be considered in favour of the amplitude
here attributed to the case offence of Perjury, is that
in a view to punishment of great it can do no harm
although it the notion of its extending to so far any once were to be ill founded in point of fact, it
the mistake would not be productive of any ill consequence.
Let it be supposed for instance, that to such or such
a mischief Perjury might be made subservient. If to
the mischief in question Perjury can really be made
subservient, it is highly proper that provision should be
made for it: if not, there is no good done indeed by the provision
made for it, but still there is no harm. This
will hold good as well with regard to a final provision
as any other. If the offence can be committed, it is
as proper that it should be punished as any other: if it
can not, the punishment though denounced can never be
inflicted: so that here to although it should do no good, at least it does no
harm. And the same observation hold, equally good with
regard to the two other offences of ferronation and forgery.

easy to see that a case that has been nothing in common with the foment.
In The case of Perjury There are no principles of illusion to make a man require
the crime as in that of Witchcraft. To p. 19 at top
