Philadelphia Bar WITH STATISTICS, RECORD DATA AND FORMS BY GEORGE D. THORN Clerk of the Board of Pardons Humanity and good policy conspire to dictate that the benign prerogative of pardoning should be as little as possible fettered or embarrassed. The criminal code of every country partakes so much of necessary severity that, without an easy access to exceptions in favor of unfortunate guilt, justice would wear a countenance too sanguinary and cruel.-ALEXANDER HAMILTON, The Federalist, No. 74.
