Observations

V. Procedure
§ 38
91
Penalty

Impunity, and al that in cases in which there circumstances
affording rather an increase than a diminution
in the demand for punishment, is the natural
and frequent result of the prevailing inadequate
and inconsiderate practice: no good reason
can be assigned, why a non-housekeeper should
be less exposed to punishment than a housekeeper ,
a batchelor than a married man:

It is evident that of the triple option one of in the case of a pecuniary punishment
them if one only of the two modes of compelling payment
are (Distress and Imprisonment) is allowed,
the latter is more preferable; because if Distress
alone be allowed, a man who has nothing to distrain,
that is a Non one who is not a House-keeper,
enjoys a compleat impunity, not being
so much as laid under the obligation of shifting his
quarters; an inconvenience from which, where imprisonment is the mode of
compulsion employ'd, he is not the case exempted.

Accordingly in the two kinds existing cases of existing delinquency
that come nearest to the present case, viz:
that of selling Ale &c. without licence that of an offence against the Ale house licencing system,
and that of an offence against the Hawker-licencing
system, imprisonment alone is trusted to, power of
distraining is not given.
