Why the turn of the scale is required to be
in favour of the party endamaged damnified.
If a man suffers is made to pay rather more than he need
in the way of compensation, what he suffers thereby is not altogether
so much misery or waste: it may still be
of use in the way of punishment, by adding something
to the chance which the punishment has
of being efficacious in the way of prevention. On
the other hand if what the party endamaged receives
is less than what is necessary to make him
compleat amends, what he suffers by such deficiency
is so much misery in waste: it produces
no good whatever; and as far as it is known, it
propagates the additional evil of the apprehension pain
which other men will feel at the apprehension
of being exposed upon future occasions to such a
loss as the difference between the compensation received
and the compensation due amounted
to.
