Imprisonment for life is a punishment rarely inflicted; but, in this case, a forger being banished, and ordered to be whipped once a-month, in case of his return, till occasion should offer for transporting him; he was, in case of his return a second time from banishment, ordered to be imprisoned for life, though not without expressing a dislike in general to that sort of punishment.

Fol. Dic. v. 3. p. 177. Kilkerran, (Delinquency.) No 5. p. 156.
