Compensation.

individual thing that was taken lost is restored : it may be
termed restitution in value, when not the same thing is
returned, but a sum of money or something of equal
value.

are not by any means in the same state plight they would have been if
it never had been taken : the party damaged has certainly lost
and the offender has probably gained the use of the thing
for the time, whatever it be, during which it lay in
his hands. Before In order then for the party damaged
to receive full and adequatecompensation, he must receive besides
the thing itself that was taken a restitution in value
for the use of it during the time in question.
The same observation holds equally good with respect
to the use of a sum of money.
