ON

CRIMINAL LAW.

By HENRY DAGGE, Efq;

IN THREE VOLUMES.

VOL. I.

Laws justly made for the Prefervation of the Common-weal
without extreme Punishment, or great Penalty, are more
often obeyed and kept than Laws and Statutes made with
great and extreme Punishments. 1 Mar. c. 1. Preamble.

Juftum certe eft quod collapfa legis æquitas reftauretur, et
ut divinæ imaginis vehiculum, quod fuperiores pridem
atates ob graviffima crimina nequaquam tollerent,
levioribus hodie ex delicis non perderetur.
