Punishment in alienam perforiam
I could wish to give the reader a precise
list of offences to which this punishment is
annexed: but this I find to be impossible. Every
principle delivered on this subject teems with
contradiction.- The enumeration which is sometimes
made includes nearly every possible crime
comprehending. Treason, perjury forgery & such like crimes theft, all
crimes considered infamous and felony.- As to
felony this is spoken of as if it were a particular
species of Crime - The case is that Felony is
a collection of Crimes as heterogenous as can be
conceived and which have nothing in common between
them but the accidental circumstances of being
punished with the same punishment.- Crimes of
mere resentment or malicious mischief are by scores
of Statutes made felonies Homicide intentional in
the heat of passion; or unintentiional by an
unlucky blow is felony. - Rape is felony.- Crimes
of Lewdness are felonies - What is not felony?-
the Evidence of Persons excommunicated is are received
the reason assigned by some has been that these indviduals
not being under the influence of religion cannot
be believed on their oath.- By others it has been gravely
said that those who converse with excommunicated
persons are excommunicated with them and consequently
they cannot be admitted to receive any questions from a court
