Of Co-offenders
2. Because the contrary provision might have
a bad effect in the character as a moral lesson: as
indicating on the part of the legislator an endeavour
to stifle the sentiment of benevolence, and
to make the selfish motive of fear triumph over
the social and semi-social motives.
3. This indulgence may be granted with the
less repugnance in case inasmuch as it ap seems not to
be of a nature to detract much from the certainty of
punishment. For the persons thus excused will
naturally be the first objects of suspicion: and the
very circumstance which disposes them to lend their
assistance protection to the delinquent, makes it not
likely to be effectual.
