EXEMPTIONS. INFANCY a1 When in Company-
But there is a great difference between one a Child's engaging
in a criminal enterprize of his own accord, &
by the sollicitation of others; it is in the latter case often difficult for him
to resist, & his having been guilty in this manner
affords as equivocal a presumption of his ever being so in
future, as it may be called of his own free-will
the dispositions the of the people are so prone to compassion
in cases of this sort, & so well satisfied to dispence
with the example, that no inconvenience seems likely
to arise from the Judge or even the Jury with
the power of pardoning where the criminal is under the
age of 16 or 18.
such a power so limited
to the present case
can hardly be abusively
exposed: & there
is no danger of it's
abusively [withholden
whether placed]
in one of the schools.

EXEMPTION INFANCY a2 When in Company
The evil influence which it
mentioned or another: it need not be put in the way
to might be supposed to have in diminishing
the effect of the salutary terrors of the Law upon
persons of this description would might be obviated by not
inserting exposing it in that Code which is made to circulate
in their hands. It may make a conscionable impression
on the young offender to have heard the sentence
of conviction pronounced over him, & to have felt
himself for a time in the condition of one who is
to suffer
A verdict of not guilty in such a case would
make too much shew of an arbitrary
over fact.
