30. C Of Compensation

is the case more particularly with regard to corporal injuries
and unlawful confinement. Upon the plan objected to, which is
the common one, an offender has less to fear from ill-treating
an old man than a young man, a sick man than a man in
health. If a man does you a slight hurt he is in great danger
of being overtaken punished by punishment, but if he will misuse
you worse and can contrive to destroy your health in
such a manner that a mortal though lingering disease or
infirmity shall be the consequence, he is safe. If he keeps
you in confinement for a little time he will be punished;
but if he can contrive to keep you in confinement all
your life-time he is safe.

7. -- and in all, to vexatious litigation.
7. Not in these offences only but in all injuries whatsoever
does the plan objected to afford a temptation, and that often
a very strong one, to add one injury to another. When the injury
for which your adversary stands in jeopardy and the opportunity
which gave occasion to it are at an end, it may still be
his interest to give you every vexation in his power and
particularly to retard as much as possible the decision of the
Law: by every vexation which he can bring upon You, by every delay
