Particular Ends

We are now prepared for the [...?] /[...?]/ to be an explanation and denomination of three particular direct ends - the three principal branches of the object already described under the name of the general and direct end of the system of procedure.

1. Punishment, though by /of and in, and by/ itself an evil, is not incapable of producing nor does it fail of sometimes producing, a clear ballance of good, viz: by the subsequent prevention of offences, and consequently /thence/ of the mischief of offences, of the same sort as the individual act of delinquency to which in each instance it is applied. In so far as it is /thus becomes/ a good - by the act by which it is administered, a service is rendered, and in so far as the rendering of that service is prescribed and predicted[?] by substantive law it may be said to be due[?]. First particular direct end or object and function of procedure or justice - providing for the application /administrations/ of punishment where due. First principal branch of the System of procedure - the penal branch.

    With the above /this/ division of the general direct end of procedure into its principal ramifications, the three /principal/ particular direct ends, the division of /by which/ the system of procedure /is divided/ into its main branches, corresponds in some degree to a certain degree/, but does not exactly coincide. To provide for the administration of punishment where due, is the function as well as object of a particular branch of an extent no where as yet exactly determined, called the penal branch, in which another of still[?] more /equally/ indeterminate extent called the criminal is included. But in the administration of punishment, if apposite[?] in kind, service of collation of rights, is as hath already been seen, in many instances included. In the penal branch of procedure the business is /operations are/ not confined to the first of the three ends of procedure, but extends itself /in its aims, extend themselves/ in many instances to the second. Moreover In case of injury as[?] hath just been seen, the remedy without /unaccompanied by/ the remedy afforded /administered/ by satisfaction, the remedy applied /afforded/ by punishment would be incompleat. But, in a case where both remedies are in demand, it is seldom that the existence of the act of delinquency can be sufficiently established for one purpose, without being and by the same process, sufficiently established for the other. In the penal branch of procedure, the business is therefore neither confined /neither/ to the first nor to that and the second of the three ends of procedure, but in its aims, extends itself to all three.

    2. Wherever /On whatsoever occasion/ by the arrangements made /prescriptions is/ by the substantive branch of the law an inchoate right is conferred, if in /by/ virtue of those arrangements the Judge is /be/ required, as well as authorized, on demand or application to that effect made by him on whom it is conferred, to convert it into a consummate right, to consummate it a service of collation to that effect becomes due to him from the Judge. Second particular direct end or object and function of procedure - providing for the collation of rights, where due. 3. In case of an offence importing injury to an assignable individual, and that injury susceptible of satisfaction, the remedy afforded by punishment and thence by vindictive satisfaction, is if unaccompanied by satisfaction in any other shape, almost always, incompleat and inadequate. On the other hand whereas The suffering produced by the burthen of rendering satisfaction, producing as far as it goes the effect of punishment, is frequently altogether sufficient for and adequate to that purpose. The remedy afforded to the individual by the punishment of the injurer, and thence /that is/ in the shape of vindictive satisfaction, is if unaccompanied by satisfaction in any other shape, almost always incompleat and inadequate.

    Third particular direct end or object and function of procedure - providing for the administration of satisfaction, where due.
