Ch. 11 Offences affecting person &Extenuations
Ch. 11. Offences affecting
person &
Extenuations
In the course taken
by Judges for termination
of a quarrel
no account taken
of anterior wrongs
Evils of this Course
1. By being the first
to complain the
greatest wrongdoer
may alone obtain
satisfaction.
Objection justice
is equally open to
the other party.
Answer his exhaustion
is such
that he cannot recommence
the proceeding
The same application
is sufficient
to bring no anterior
wrongs to view if
a night has intervened.
w When anterior
wrongs remain unenquired
into the rancour
remains unassuaged

less obvious than
in the case of justifications
1st Evil of the 1st Order
no such compensation
as in causes of
justification
2nd Evil of 2nd Order
not altogether absent

Ch. Justifications &c
Why under the Agent
responsible
where no blame is
imputed
Reason so is the
patient blameless
& if no blame be attachable
to the patient
on the score of
evil intention it is
not so on the score
of temerity or negligence.
