Now, it is absolutely impossible to discov- er less of that recklessness of consequences, that constructive malice, in the conduct of the dram-seller, than in either of the cases we have cited fiom the reports. .We know not where to look for the distinction. '^ If a man," says the great and learn- ed lawyer, whom we last quoted, " if a man does such an act, of which the probable consequence may be, and eventually is, death, such killing may be murder, though no murder be pri- marily intended." ...And when the dram-seller does such an act, of which the probable consequence may be, and eventually is, death, such killing may be murder, though no murder be primarily intended. The force of habit may blunt our percep- tions of identity, where no rational distinction can be shown to exist. Rum-shops and ruin, dram-sellers and drunkards are so exceedingly common ; we have become so perfectly familiarized to the consequences of their existence, in the forms of pauper- ism and crime, disease and death, that we are scarcely prepar- ed to think and speak as freely and as forcibly as it deserves, of an occupation, which is often conducted in so very genteel a manner, and which is suffered under the sanction of positive law.
