Evidence
Vexation it has already observed can not be transferred to from
seat to seat to different seat without changing its nature shape: expence may
without any change in its nature go round the world without
any change of shape, although, according to the situation of
the person on whom it falls, the degree of its pressure is susceptible
of variation on a very large scale.
In the case of expence this transferability fortunately properly is a happy circumstance,
the quantity of suffering ultimately pressing upon
the community taken together is in some instances cases, lessened
by it. Suppose that in this or that instance, the conduct
of a party has been such as to create a demand for punishment.
Give to the punishment the form of pecuniary punishment,
the produce, if suitably applied, the produce by being made
over to the persons damnified or otherwise vexed on the occasion
of the suit, the produce of this suitably applied, annihilates
so many lots of vexation, with the pressure of such remedy would otherwise which otherwise would
have continued to be afflicted. Such is the use of that allowance
which in the practice of the English law is for shortness expressed
by the name of Costs.
