Ch XXVI. Local Headmen
§. Travelling dispute
settling function

Withhold Grant Yet, if you gr do grant this power to the several classes of persons by whom the
protection in question is needed in particular say in particular Innkeepers and conductors of vehicles — you put into their p hands
the faculty as between of practising extortion and oppression at the charge of
an unbounded multitude, who in no small proportion
will be in a helpless state.

Here then Such is the dilemma: what then is the option
which it leaves? Either Answer: either to have the wrong
in question without remedy or to give the application of the
remedy to a judiciary which much nearer at hand than, in general,
than will be the ordinary judiciary: in a word to a judiciary
of which the Local Headman, assisted by with or without the assistance of the Registrar,
is instituted Judge, for, no other does that so unexceptionable
can the nature of the case admitt of: At the charge Even thus, at a
of against the traveller no remedy can be endeavoured to be applied,
but evil to the magnitude of which no person <add>rarely can any
limit be assigned, is liable to be produced: a man, whose
preservation saving from ruin
depends upon his meeting with a
certain person, as on his
arrival at
a certain
place within a certain
time is consigned to
ruin if by the means in question
or any other, he is prevented
from arriving at the
same place place in question within
that time: to exclude the evil is impossible. all that can
be done is to minimize it.

Inadequate is the extreme and teeming with inconsistency
is the provision made against evil in the shape in question
In this particular the probably und
by themselves</del> under the existing circumstances
in spite of imperfection and inconsistency. By a
person travelling in a carriage is in which he is is passenger
suppose, for example, damage to a certain amount done to the
carriage, the horses cattle, or an Inn at which he stays: if
from the damage done suppose him to he obtain a profit, as
when a pane of glass, for example, is stolen or endeavoured
to be stolen, he is made liable to be taken before
the ordinary judicatory relative to the district, there to and the
receive a punishment in the amount of which of without scruple to almost to the
little less than to little short of the highest degree; if he does without this on the other from this it may hand,
suppose that some wrong to the same amount done to him without any view
to get himself any profit, if, for instance, if he brakes the glass,
in this case be the
wrong ever so willful,
no power of exposing
him to summary giving effect to
his declared responsibility or
has place, and, to no other than what is called
a civil suit with the eventual obligation of paying the
value of the thing destroyed subject matter of the wrong is he subjected. Yet how is the loss to him made at all the less by the circumstance that no profit is made out of it by any body else. True, in respect to the demand for punishment there may be a difference between the two cases: but in respect of his demand for compensation there is none.
