Subject matters of consideration on this occasion are the
following —
1. — Original or say primordial maleficent act what — I
2. Its logical cost viz: 1 positive 2. negative
3. If positive instruments what sensitive or insensitive
or both
4 If sensitive rational or irrational
5 If sensitive whether rational or irrational mode of operating
upon them in such sort as to render them instruments
of maleficence that is to say by contributing to the production
of the supposed maleficent ultimate effect.
For the various sorts of incorporeal instruments of maleficence
where the corporeal instrument belong to the class of rational
as well as sensitive beings see B1. Offences collectively Chapter
2. Instruments of evil
6 Logical cost of the original maleficent act as above
positive; instrument corporeal insensitive Modes of producing
the ultimate maleficent effect there —
Case 1. Body of the person vexed unmoved Maleficent effect
produced by motion given to a corporeal instrument say a
stone Direction of the motive such as to cause it to impinge
upon the part in question of his bodily frame
Case 2. Motion given to the whole or part of the bodily
frame of the person vexed the portion of insensitive matter
by the collision between which and the body of the person
vexed motionless say a stone wall
Case 3. Body of the person vexed and the insensitive
body by collision between which and the body of the
person vexed the vexation is produced both in a moving
state Example as a carriage is in motion upon the road
the body of the person vexed pushed before it in the
track of it and by the passage of the carriage over him
the corporeal vexation the ultimate maleficent effect produced.
