1827 July 21
Penal CodeCh. Homicide

Act to part a way which the party himself who is
wronged is of all persons the individuals acts any being unknown
and what is afflicting to him – is not popular in what it is ?

One Another main cause of duelling is the compleat inaptitude as to
the matter of the substantive branch of the law: the compleat
absence of all appropriate remedy against insult: insult
that complicated species of wrong which shows itself in so
great a variety of forms – corporal insult –
contemptuous vituperation and so forth. ☞ Enumerate
them from the Tables.

What possibility of appropriate remedy when
the first thing done, and the only thing done with effect
is the involving the wrongee and the wronger and the wrongee
in one common sense by means of costs? The only
person of all from whom it is possible that anything like
correct information of the state of the case in respect of
facts the matter – that is to say the parties to the dispute, an inexorable
door is shut: Against the what facts or
rather supposed facts are presented to the ears of the Judge
that is to say the many twelve headed Judge under the direction
of the one headed one are in the first instance
strained through the his impure medium, the head of the Attorney
and the lips of the and purposely and
misrepresenting Advocate pouring into it not be .

Decided in this way which it is who is in the right or least in the wrong As little as is possible for the Judge to stand apprised
of the present circumstances in the situation of the parties from
whom any information can be obtained what the nature
is of the remedy to the individual case . I say the
individual case: for in a case of this sort every the propriety
of whatsoever can be done depends upon the indi circumstance
of the individual transaction and of the individual parties
who have been active in respect of it.

Instead of receiving a remedy for the wounds already sustained
by his feelings, the injured party receives a fresh wound from
the loss of the employed on the other side: in a word instead
of being what it pretends
to be, the pretended remedy
is no better
than an aggravation
and that always a
of the diseases.
