authority it has the same reason nearly for affording
protection to him as to a native. In this point of view
it is as much affected by the primary mischief of the injury
done to him; and in any point of view it is as much
affected by the secondary mischief as if he were a native.
It will of course therefore give to him the same degree of
protection as to a native; and unless in the particular
case of a privileged person the state of which he is a member
