Instructions to the Judge.
Let it be the anxious care of the Judge that at any rate
the triumph be not on the side of the injurer, but on that of the
party injured.
The more ridiculous the light is in which the party injured
was placed by the Offence, the severer ought to be the
punishment, and the severer the countenance of the Judge towards
the Offender. If in the course of the proceedings he either
indulges himself or suffers others to indulge themselves,
in ill-timed pleasantry at the expence of the party injured,
he is the accomplice of the Offender not the Minister of
Justice.
