Strictures on Paley's Net
1
"The design being human
"multiplicity of capital
"offences is excused."
The design here supposed
is as above altogether
destitute of foundation. p. 26.
2
"Laws not cruel because
indiscriminate execution
not designed: p 25
- their relaxation trusted
to crowns benignity, p. 26.
3
While the power of pardon
exists, this observation
not more peculiarly applicable
to this than
to any other laws. p. 26.
4
But this trust which
Paley here speaks of as
if created by some Statute,
has no other foundation
nor creator than
his own imagination
of the benignity of the
Crown, post. p. 27
5
Penal laws how got up.
- A man's Potatoes are
stolen - A Bill making
this offence capital is
framed by the help of an
attorney & being presented
by the Court member
passes, consistency
barring all objections
the stealing of turnips
being already capital. p 28
