What is to become with delinquents after they
are thus mutilated. If they are to be supported
at the expence of public cost, the punishment
becomes too expensive: if they are left to
themselves, they are condemned to perpetual
misery or death. Mutilation used as a
punishment has two inconveniences 1. it is
irreversible. 2. it is v to be confounded with ascribed to
accidents arising from natural causes. There is
Between a man who has had his arm cut
been deprived of his arm as a punishment
for a crime, and he who has lost his arm
in the service of this his country, there is
no apparent difference. It would be necessary
therefore in all cases to add a stigma that
should be manifestly artificial, to
serve as a certificate of the crime, and as a
protection to misfortune. There appears dearth
to support that these punishments might
altogether : at least they should be
reserved for offences that very rarely
happen, and when they may be recommended
by their analogy.
