Instructions to the Judge
Code Defamation — Circumstances by which the mischief of it is encreased or diminished

25.
(7) — Of defamation the
mischief is encreased
& by being printed. p.10

26.
For, in writing the
imputation is as fixt
as in print.

and the diffusion is
less extensive. p.11 —

27.
(8) 2 — in verse p.11

28.
For it is easier to
remember & communicate
p.11

29 —
9 3. Embellished by wit —
in which case it is
called satyre. p.11.

30
For by wit the impression
is strengthened.
The pleasures produced
by wit are pleasures of
surprize, and pleasure
of sympathy desired
from the contemplation
of ingenuity the
taken is easier to remember
& communicate
& by sympathy for the
author, antipathy as
towards the object of
the satyre is produced.

The moral demerit
will thus be as the
literary merit. p.12

31 —
10 4. set to Music constituting
a Ballad —
p.13

32
For thus, further encrease
is given to the
pleasure produced &
to the facility of remembrance
& communication.
p.13

33.
(11) What sort of imputation
shall be most mischievous
to an individual depends
on his or her condition
in life. p.14

34.
Sensibility and this
mischief is encreased
in quantity
1. by degree of culture
in education
2. by elevation in rank.
p.14.

35
But e contra by the
power and influence
with which rank is
apt to be attended the
sensibility is in another
way diminished. Power
and influence rendering
a man so much the
less dependant on the
free good offices of others.
p.14

36.
Hence by rank the
immediate pain of humiliation
is perhaps
encreased — but the remote
mischief resulting from
loss of reputation good
will, good offices, diminished. p.15

37.
When rank is accompanied
by proportionate
opulence, by his migrating
to a Country
where nothing else is
known of him the
mischief of less of reputation
may be diminished.
p.15

37
In this, as in other
cases, the quantity of
mischief will depend
greatly on idiosyncracy.
p.15
