☞ Add Modes of exacting explanation
Intimately connected in this case with each other are the
several applicable species of remedy.
Case 1, that of the Bully Duellist. Of To this species
shall the suspected duellist be provisionally presumed prima facie to belong
saving disproof by ulterior evidence showing him to belong to
some one or other of the some other species.
Case 1. Inchoate species the first. Offence affecting reputation or person
and reputation jointly of the party wronged or of some party regarded
as dear to him – committed for the purpose of inducing him
to offer a challenge. These are
A challenge what.
IV. Motive, ill-will.
8. or 1. The Bloodthirsty Duellist. In those tim places
and times in which assassination by a man's own or a hired hand homicide from private quarrels has
been scarce regarded as a crime, than systematic depredation and
oppression under f by the hand of a set of fee-fed lawyers under
the existing system is at present, this sort of duellist would
have hired an assassin or acted by self or proxy by his own or another hand have
been an assassin employed assassination. But on condition of affording producing a
chance of two duellers, the existing system, under favour of
the habitual perjury encouraged on the part of Juries
the existing system on condition of a man's affording a
chance of two deaths acts of homicide wilful homicide, gives impunity or next to impunity
to one.
Neither in this case or the in points of extent is either the
alarm or the danger especially the alarm more serious than in
the case of the Cheat-supporting Duellist: for, by avoiding the many acquaintance
company is in case of acquaintance avoiding any strong collision in point
of interest, danger from
this source may be avoided
obviously be avoided.
