Note 7 — Morning Session
Reading edition
Mention should be made that an English law (act of 1861), for example, makes a differentiation between accessories and abettors, abandoning—even though merely as a matter of choice—infliction of equal punishment in the case of different types of crimes, so that in the case of felonies equal punishment may be inflicted: “may be punished”... In case of misdemeanors, it is true, equal punishment must be imposed: “shall be liable to be punished.”
