The age at which children are said to have discretion ,
is not very accurately ascertained .
Under seven years ,
it seems that no circumstances of mischievous discretion can be admitted to overthrow the strong presumption of innocence ,
which is raised by an age so tender .

Between the ages of seven and fourteen ,
the infant is ,
prima facie ,
destitute of criminal design ,
but this presumption diminishes as the age increases ,
and even during this interval of youth ,
may be repelled by positive evidence of vicious intention ;
for tenderness of years will not excuse a maturity in crime ,
the maxim in these cases being ,
malitia supplet aetatem .
At fourteen ,
children are said to have acquired legal discretion .

The discretion of a judge is said to be the law of tyrants ;
it is always unknown ;
it is different in different men ;
it is casual ,
and depends upon constitution ,
temper ,
and passion .
In the best ,
it is oftentimes caprice ;
in the worst ,
it is every vice ,
folly ,
and passion ,
to which human nature is liable .
Optima lex quae minimum relinquit arbitrio judicis :
optimus judex qui minimum sibi .

There is a species of discretion which is authorized by express law ,
and ,
without which ,
justice cannot be administered ;
for example ,
an old offender ,
a man of much intelligence and cunning ,
whose talents render him dangerous to the community ,
induces a young man of weak intellect to commit a larceny in company with himself ;
they are both liable to be punished for the offence .
The law ,
foreseeing such a case ,
has provided that the punishment should be proportioned ,
so as to do justice ,
and it has left such apportionment to the discretion of the judge .
It is evident that ,
without such discretion ,
justice could not be administered ,
for one of these parties assuredly deserves a much more severe punishment than the other .
