CERTAINTY of PUNISHMENT.

When we speak of the Execution of an
ordinary Law, we mean the compliance paying
obedience to the Law with it's mandate or prohibition: of
a Penal Law, the infliction of the
punishment [denounced for non-compliance for disobedience] but these are so far a the number of these is so small and so uncertain as never to enter into political calculations.

The strength of the motive is in the
compound ratio of the intensity of the punishment
and the probability of it's infliction — In pains, that is in the idea of pain the certainty of a
small one makes an equal impression is an equal motive
with a probability of a great one: just
as in of pleasur the certainty of £50 is
equivalent to an equal chance for an
hundred. marginal note text
