Evidence
(b) [in a shape not due] Where the matter of satisfaction
being applied where due, the matter of satisfaction is applied in a
shape not due, the evil is resolvable into two
the evil of an opposite description: viz. distinguishable and the two evils just mentioned
includes in it, the one by implication, another evil, an evil of an opposite description,
viz. non-application of the object in question in its
due shape. But, the effect of the two – as in the case
of a pecuniary account, with errors in it on both sides, – the
effect of this reduplication of this included opposite additional error
is – not to encrease, but to decre compensate for, and
diminish the effect of the error which stands expressed.
Thus it is in regard to satisfaction: and so it is
in regard to where punishment is to be applied, rights to be conferred,
and or other judicial services to be rendered, as
below.
Under shape under shape – may be included
quantity, quality, place, time: under undue shape,
undue in point of quantity, undue in point of
quality, and so forth.
Suppose the error to be in point of quantity,
in this case, so far as quantity alone is concerned the application of the object in a quantity not due
including in it the non application of it in the
that quantity that is due, the wrong undue suffering to one party,
the undue advantage to the other party, are not
either of them, amount to any thing ore than the
difference.
