Causes of delinquency in
other cases

[+]1 By the Duellist who as in Case 1
and 2 acts only no otherwise than on the defensive
no evil of the second order is produced
to be suffer from secured against wrong
in all shapes at his hands, a man
has but to let him alone, and abstain
from inflicting wrong on him
So likewise in Case 2.

Not so in Case 3. For
to the purpose of supplying him with
the species of benefit thus sought
no man can be sure of not
having his life committed to hazard
in this way: committed to hazard,
or per perhaps to be destroyed
to a certainty; for by practice
shooting at a mark, a duellist
may be make himself quite sure
of practicing the effect and in
some countries this practice is to a
lamentable degree extensive.

1. Delinquency in the
shape in which it is committed
by the species of Duellist thus denominated
had for its efficient
cause the unapt state of the law
the omission in not providing
an apt and acceptable remedy.
These species would accordingly
disappear and without
need of remedy in any other
shape were the law put upon in this respect a
right footing. Thus in case of case is
the 18 or 20 of that of a denial of justice: an
effect continually produced by
one or more of 18,19, or 20
causes, as to which see in Ch III
Judiciaries §. 1 Ends of Justice

2. Of delinquency in this shape
the official cause is the same
mutatis mutandis, as in the
first preceding case.

3. Vainglorious reputation-seeking The species of
Duellist thus designated
is one who for the purpose of
acquiring the reputation of courage
picks a quarrel with a man
and pursuing it or not pursuing
it to the length of actual; combat
and with or without the intent
and endeavour to produce the effect
of homicide or temporary disablement

6.
Accessories to the offence

[+]2 Accessories to these
offences is are in this case are
the duellers and supporters
of the denial of justice
the legislat Judges by
whom and for whose
benefit it has been
to the Legislator by
who it has been carried
out
whose negligence or
sinister design it has
been connived at: by
the depredation and oppression
without by whose
It has resistance
it has been
and preserved.

In the principal may
be seen an object
of well grounded sympathy
and compassion: in the
accessories, of no less
well grounded indignation.
