LIV. I know that I have already written to
your reverence, so far as I can, on the distinctions to be observed in
cases of involuntary homicide, i.e. in
Canon viii. p. 226 and Canon xi. p. 228. and on this
point I can say no more. It rests with your intelligence to
increase or lessen the severity of the punishment as each individual
case may require.
