Indirect Legislation

Satisfying

I know of no system of law as yet existing
in which makes the provision made for this purpose
is full am secure and ample as
it might and should be. To In many cases of
injury redress is not extended: No redress at all is given. to a in all
cases it is made defeasible by a variety of contingencies,
which in point of reason and utility
do not lessen the demand.

In the English law it is a general rule,
that where the offence injury is so great that the punishment
thought fit to be annexed to it amounts
to felony, no satisfaction at all is given to the
individual: except in the cases of goods taken by bo
theft or robbery, in which cases if the individual
goods are happen to be forthcoming they are given back.
Lawyers tell you that all this is very right as it ought to be , the
"satisfaction made to the public being so very great:"
not considering, it should seem, that when whether the individual
goods stolen happen to be forthcoming, the satisfaction
they speak of is the same. If the individual
who has lost money by the offence does not get
money in return by the punishment , the King does, which comes to
the same thing. Notwithstanding this if a [man
who owed money] client who ow'd a fee to any
of these lawyers were to pay it into carry it to the Exchequer
I question much whether he would look upon himself as
paid.
