Constitut. Code§. 2. Common Law
The compleat of the some act its usefulness –
for purely useful in the every act by which pleasure is produced to
one or more pain to none – the perfect purity of the act in every
intelligible moral sense of the word purity will not in the
situation of a Juryman exempt the agent from receiving
punishment at his hands will not suffice to exclude from
the breast of a Grand Juryman the desire of seeing a man
punis suffer punishment for it: for to many a man of that
class, pleasure in any shape enjoyed by a man of a class
inferior to his own is by means of the idea of it, a
source of pain suffering in his breast.
Not that by in any case by the noxiousness
ever so great would any justification be afforded for punishment
awarded by such hands. To the legislative authority and
not to the judicial does it belong to distrib take surveys of look over the
field of thought and social action to pick out sorts of acts, and
by inhibition applied to them is punishment appealed to be attached
to them, convert them into offences, fallacy would
it accordingly be where with those words in his mouth
a Judge is seen inflicting punishment or a man on account of
his performance of a sort of act, of to which those generally
unintelligible words have been applied by Judges or law-writers,
to launch into invectives against the nature of the act, and
supposing it was a in an so high a degree noxious speak
of its noxiousness in a sufficient warrant justification excerpt to a Judge in respect
of his having visited with punishment a man by whom it has
been proved to be done.
