There is ,
however ,
this difference ;
grace is the generic term ;
pardon ,
according to those laws ,
is the clemency which the prince extends to a man who has participated in a crime ,
without being a principal or accomplice ;
remission is made in cases of involuntary homicides ,
and self -
defence .
Abolition is different :
it is used when the crime cannot be remitted .
The prince then may by letters of abolition remit the punishment ,
but the infamy remains ,
unless letters of abolition have been obtained before sentence .
