16. Warning to others being the sole desks of
legal penishmest, all decisions of Julies should be
made dispassionately, and should not be lullseacell
by collateral circumstances, or by any sinister or art.

17. The punishment being generally founded on
the abstract tact of the Joey's conviction ; and the
laws being suds for *Strome cases of turpitude, the
Jury ought to recommend the convicted to mercy as
often as they feel a jestisable ressun.
