Bill Of Pains And Penalties Definition
A special act of the legislature which inflicts a punishment less than death upon persons supposed to be guilty of high offenses, such as treason and felony, without any conviction in the ordinary course of judicial proceedings. 2 Wooddeson, Lect. 625. It differs from a bill of attainder in this, that the punishment inflicted by the latter is death. It has been thought by some that the clause in the constitution prohibiting bills of attainder includes bills of pains and penalties. 6 Cranch (U.S.) 138; Story, Const. § 1338.
