Felicia.
From rights and powers and trusts, come we now to wrongs,
maleficent act and offences, maleficence and delinquency.

Under existing system
no table of maleficent
acts

Astra. Felicia. You have a table in which maleficent
acts of all sorts are or may be seen in one
view, with the different ways in which they are maleficent.
Let us see it.

Felicia. Yes With pleasure Madam: here it is. But you will be
pleased to observe, all
that I have power to do
is to point give indication
of maleficent acts, and
prove them so to be.
In my sister
and her alone it belongs to take
acts of any kind, and
constitute them Offences
However to make
myself the more readily
understood, I will,
if she does not
me merely for the present purpose
me take the liberty of
giving borrowing the word
from her, and to every/each
maleficent act of my
pointing out, give the
name of the Offence.

them out of any thing I please. I take in hand
any act I please. I prohibit it: it thereafter become
a mature prohibition: one of my stock of
mature prohibitions to which from time to time I then
make whatsoever addition it suits me to make
Blackstone! You know how the matter is carried
on?

Blackstone. Oh yes Madam: we manage these
matters rarely: a word or two, properly placed,
suffices for carrying on this matter to any extent
conspiracy, breach of the peace malice libel contra bonos mores
blasphemy — christianity is part and parcel of the law
If of itself the word or the phrase means has no meaning at
all so much the better: it is so much the easier for me to
to give to it what meaning we please.
