HOMICIDE EXCUSABLE Crimes 4 & 182

What it is that is aimed at in this prefase, it is not quite very so easy to discern as could be wished
The ideas of those who have settled the Law sentiments of the Law viz. those who have concern to write it are alive to the estimation supposing they had any ever let themselves//on the degree of blame to be annexed to form any Punishments about the matter
to an act of this sort, are must to be collected, no otherwise than from either the original disposition of the Law on
this behalf, or from the adventitious or from the custom of pardoning as of course, which time out
of mind has rendered that disposition of no effect. If from the latter, it judges it not deserving
of any punishment at all: if from the former, it seems regular enough to speak
of the forfeiture of a man's whole personal ?, that is, in most instances the case of most men, all he is
worth, as of "a little degree of punishment" — Besides this, in the first place, it
seems is a mode of extortion equally singular to think of a fault as being so trivial, that a man is not
to be hanged for it: in the second place it is not true that the Law does not excuse excuses that or any other
act from the guilt of Felony or any other guilt:# # at least according to the barbarians Law of a Law of Nature. it is in these cases punishment & not guilt from which
the Law Laws excuses.

It may be urged indeed that the trouble and expense of procuring a pardon is
itself a punishment and in that same little degree <which makes the destruction know the causes treatment of these and is justifiably enough.> of it here x: but to those it may be
finally x, in the first place that this is imputing a refinement to their conceptions of which no time
are to be met with in any other provision in the second place. This distinction, in the Another
way for Juries in such cases to find a general verdict of acquittal. ** at least according to the x of a Law of Nature.
