injured

in generally required that he should make compensation should be
made to the party injured

It is true that in the greater number
of cases compensation could not be exacted of him.
Delinquents are commonly of the poorer class, ex nihilo,
nihil fit.

If they are idle during their imprisonment,
far from being able to render satisfaction, they constitute
a charge upon Society.

in the administration it is possible to obtain a
profit sufficiently great to offer at at least some
portion of indemnity to the parties injured - Mr Bentham

prisoners. The expenses of his detection and prosecution:-
One step more and they will grant indemnity to
the parties injured-
