C 7.
Of Compensation.
for there are none which a man may not be induced by for hire
that is by the motive of lucre to engage in. But the acts which are most

ranked under the division of offences against Property, + + See
those only excepted which essentially import destruction.

A 2d
Cases that have the 2d. best claim to Compensation
Another set of cases are those in which the party
damnified sustains a pecuniary or quasi-pecuniary loss,
and the author of the damage receives a profit, but which
is not pecuniary or quasi-pecuniary; in which case it is
ordinarily of the malevolent or vindictive kind.(a) damage pecuniary or quasi-pecuniary — profit not pecuniary See p. 22. 23. These
cases occupy the second rank among those which afford a
claim for compensation. 5. Cases
Note.
(a) It is hardly worth while to make a distinction in favour
of the cases where at the same time that the loss is pecuniary
or quasi-pecuniary, the profit or advantage is of the benevolent
kind. Such cases however are possible and indeed not very
infrequent: to wit where, merely for the pleasure of gratifying the
resentment of your friend, you do a mischief to his enemy.
