The draught OF the penal code which
the Cortes are to sanction has been print
ed, and is at present on sale. This work,
though partly copied from the French

Pecuniary. Among them are iound-lst,
death. always by strangulation, occa.
stoned by the pressure of an iron collar;
ed, perpetual labor, with branding; Sd,
transpo tation; 4th, perpetual exile; 9Th,
public labor; 9th, PRESIDE; (the gal!eys);
7th, reclusion; Sth, exposure on the pho.

a sentence of death; 10th, Imprisonment
in fortress; llth, exile from particu-

The constitutional regime, against the
convocation OF the Corles, or against the
permanent Deputations, is punished with
death. oonspir!ng against the life ana
person OF the king, his authority, and his
prerogatives, is also punished with death.
The same punishment Is applied to those
who conSpire to esta dish in Spain any
religion differing from the Catholic, to
the chiefs end organizers OF rebelIions
and instructions, and 20 voluntary homi-
cides with premed itatiop (murder) High
way robbery, false coming, arson, and
forgery, are not punished with death
Adultery on the part Of the wife is pun
ished by reclusion for as long period as
the hu, band wishes, provided it does not
exceed ten years; her accomplish is to un-
deroo the same punishment, and exile be-
sides. Adultery by the husband is pun
ishod with inidmy. In general tie code
is sparing Of the punishment of death, but
there are pucriites in it, material omis
sions, useless repetitlons, and very little
eXActness in classIti cation and definition.
