'That Capital Punishments for Offences against Pro-
" • Party, unattended with deliberate violence, are evil in their
.tendency, inasmuch as they defeat the ends of justice by
inducing a reluctance to prosecute.
•That all Punishments should therefore he so apportioned
, as not by their excessive • severity to deter from prosecu-
tien, as well as so certain in their infliction, that a dispo-
sition to commit crime may not be promoted by the ex-
-pectation or hope of escape.
- That extreme Punishment excites compassion towards
the culprit, not only with prosecutors, but also with those
who judicially administer the laws, wheref !re the, preven-
tive Power of the laws is diminished, while a consequent
encouragement is afforded to the commission of crime.
That, in the administration of the Criminal Law, this
Courtis of opinion that the commercial interests, as well
as Sae moral wealth, of the community would be more
effectually promoted by restricting capital punishments to.
ounces against the person, than by the indiscriminate ap-
ligation of the highest penalties to crime in general. .
Resolved—That Petitions be presented to both Houses
of Parliament, praying a revision and amelioration of the
Criminal Code in respect of the punishment of death for
crimes relating to property, unattended by violence to-
Wards the person. W 0 ODT HORPE.
