In the discussed period, delicts against human life recorded in protocols of the province could be divided into several groups – new-born child murder, abortion, manslaughter (not carefully planned homicide) – here injury with fatal outcome can be included, murder (premeditated homicide), killing in self-defence, accidental killing and robbery-homicide. The paper focuses only on cases, where culprit was sentenced for committing just one delict – delict against human life. Separate prosecution for abortion and robbery-homicide were not recorded in the protocols of the province in the analysed period. Among documented delicts against human life, premeditated homicides and new-born child murders, which were most strictly punished, were considered as the most serious ones. Manslaughters were punished somewhat less severely. When not planned, homicide was punished by death, then decollation was used. It was considered as the least cruel and the least degrading death penalty. Killings in self-defence, accidental killings and the cases of manslaughters, where the injured party was willing to make a deal with the part of culprit, were punished the least seriously.
