The name of a punishment is an
important object- Enigmantial names spread
a cloud over the means of punishments which the
mind cannot disspate. — The English Laws
are frequently defective under in this respect
A Capital felony, includes different lots of
punishment, the greater part unKnown and consequently
inefficacious — a Felony with benefit of Clergy is
equally obscure — the threatning of the law does
not convey any distinct idea to the mind;—the first
idea which the term would offer to an
would be that it had some reference
to a reward.— A Praemunire is not
more intelligible, even than who understand
the latin word are far from comprehending
the nature ofthe punishment which it denounces.—
Ridddles of this kind resemble
those of the sp sphink sphinx, those are
punished who do not decypher them. —

Remissability
Remissibility is the last of all the properties
that seem to be requisite in a lot of punishments —
the general presumption is that when punishment
is applied, punishment is needful:— that it ought
to be applied and therefore cannot want to be
remitted— But in very particular and these very
deplorable cases it may by accident happen
otherwise— Punishment may have been inflicted
upon an innocent person an individual whose innocence is afterwards
discovered— the punishment which he has suffered
