Punishment in alienam personam
Ins:n Collective Punishts men for the misbehaviour of a part of it. I will
mention take notice them in their order.
The first I shall mention is the case of the city
+ 7th Sept.r of Edingburgh which happen'd in 1737.1736.+ A

the proper kind at all. The Provost as we see
was punished for the negative offence of his neglect.

of persons were actually fugittives
