CERTAINTY Judgment

An absurd point of Law respecting this hand is, that if
the Judgment there be contain any class/del> thing precision beyond the authority
of the Court, instead of being reversed or altered for taste
and confirmed as to the rest, it must be reversed
altogether, & thus [sed de hoc qui?] the offender
tho' ever so atrocious must go unpunished —
This is a clear power of Pardon exemption in a Judge
if he thinks proper to use it.

Judgment where the punishment is fixed, is
nothing as it were but a a declaration of the Law already existing Warrant: where it
is discretionary, it is an assurance. It is a
modification of the Law: it is within certain
& instructions an ex post facto enactment of a new Law, adapted to the particular case.
