Instructional.

Much will depend upon the class of offence to which
the offence in each case belongs.

1. In regard to the case a publico-private offence, the
injury will naturally of itself furnish an informer, and
in his person in so far as the offence has happened to
it has happened to him to have been with relation to it
a percipient witness, a narrating or relating witness
so likewise an agent desirous studious and endeaving to contribute contributing to the prehension of
the offender, or of any thing capable of serving as a
source of real convicting conviction-promoting real evidence.

It will, at the same time have a tendency to furnish
in the person of that same individual, a prosecutor:
– a pursuer. But

But to this tendency there will always be a check more
or less operative in proportion efficient according to the condition in life and
pecuniary circumstances of that same party injured:
namely the delay, vexation and expence attached to the
exercise of that function – attached whether by natural only
or by artificial superadded to natural causes.

The less the quantity of evil attached to which in this
shape stands attached to the function, the less will be
the need and thence the use of reward attached to this
public service in this shape. If matters can be so
managed as that from this mass of evil burthen in these shapes the injured party shall be exonerated
altogether – such exoneration will with great no such
degree of efficiency operate in the character of reward. The
reward held out by the chance of compensation will in so
far as a fund how capable of affording it has place is is in existence and within
the reach of the hand of justice will be one branch though but a contingent one
of the natural reward: of the reward naturally attached to the service, the
pleasure of vengeance
will at the same time
afford another, and
that a never failing
one: a reward valuable
in proportion to the
strength of the corresponding appetite in the breast of the individual injured.
