Constitutional Code
In the case of reward, the matter of reward being
the matter of good extravasation, in so far as it can be
made to have place without expence, is not an evil
but an addition to good. If the man to whom a reward is
adjudged has a wife and children not to speak of less closely allied objects of his sympathy, whatsoever is the number of
their relations proportioned to it in the quantity of extravasated
reward. But being the matter of it being the matter of good
extravasated as it is, being produced without addition to public
expence it can not be said to be misseated. Not so
if conferred at public expence. It stands in that case as
a mass of sinecure, needless misseated and therefore sincecure
emolument stuck on by the hand of waste and corruption
upon a ground of composed of that which may
at least be rightly seated.
