a magisterial power of mitigation : but I should
.thus far propose to change the system. Let the
Law order a fine, imperative upon conviction, of
one shilling, or sixpence, or one penny per ounce,
with Magisterial power to increase the tine to
FIVE SHILLINGS !-Now, what I contend for is,
that the contemplation of a punishment with a
hope of impunity, or of MITIGATION,Is a very
different thing from the contemplation of punish-
ment with a certainty of its being inflicted, even
though in a small degree; and with a fear of its
AGGRAVATION ; though in each case 7 the precise
quantum of punishment contemplated by the- law
shall be precisely the same.Hln hopes that some
individual better qualified for the task will re-
sume this subject). I remain yours,
IGNOTUS.
