HOMICIDE EXCUSABLE Crimes 4 . 182
What it is that is aimed at in this passage,
it is not quite very so easy to discern as could be wished.
The Ideas
Testaments of the Law viz. those who have concern to able it of those who have settled the Law on the degree of blame
relative to the estimation supposing they had any <add>ever let themselves</add> to form any Testaments about the matter
to be annexed
to an act of this sort, are must to be collected, no otherwise than from either the original disposition of the Law on
this behalf, or from the adventitious or from the custom of pardoning as of course, which time out
of mind has render'd that disposition of no effect. If from the latter, it judges it not deserving
of any punishment at all: if from the former, it seems singular enough to speak
of the forfeiture of a man's whole personal estate, that is, in most instances the case of most men, all he is
worth, as of "a little degree of punishment" — Besides this, in the first place, it
seems is a mode of expression equally singular to speak of a fault as being so trivial, that a man is not
to be hanged for it: in the second place it is not true that the Law does not excuse excuses that or any other
act from the guilt of Felony or any other guilt:#
# at least according to the barbarians of a Law Law of Nature. it is in these cases punishment & not guilt from which
the Law Laws excuses.
It may be urged indeed that the trouble and expence of procuring a pardon is
itself a punishment and in that same little degree
which makes the distinction between the conditions <add>treatment of these and justifiably enough</add>. but to this it may be
finally applied, in the first place that this is imputing a refinement to their conceptions of which no traces
are to be met found with in any other provision instances in the second place. This distinction,in the Author
himself a few pages afterwards has been him at an end; by its being the
way practise for Juries in such cases to find a general verdict of acquittal. +
+p. 188.
