True it is that subject to the action pressure of this bridle
this spur, the business of agency would not might not perhaps be
upon appeara for a profit at an expence apparently
as small as that at which it has been when exempt from them.
were one encrease of the nominal expence found
necessary, the real expence would upon the whole be
to have been subjected to decrease deduction not to have
encrease augmentation from the application of those remedies.
Over the present virtually penal the simply preventive
remedy possesses another advantage
Even thus the remedy against mischievous delay
not be pronounced to be altogether adequate. Even
the profit principal money being his a man's over the profit
interest would be his own, this profit is but
negligence: and he who is in to any amount is
negligent to his own loss will in general be still more apt to
be negligent to the loss of another or other persons, especially
where as in the case here in question, the number
sharers concurr with the frame of mind congenial
profession in diminishing their sensibility to it.
It To raise to the highest pitch of which the security degree of efficiency of
mischief in this shape is susceptible it seems may perhaps
nothing to add a provision for enabling the principal
to call the agent to moreover account for the profit which
for culpable and unjustifiable delay he might
obtained for the trust fund: or at any rate for obliging
eventually to account for interest ordinary or super ordinary
merely only from the time at which having been received fr by
the profit money in question was actually applied to
the use of the ba principal
or principals,
but also from the time
at which, but for the
default it might have been received by him, and thereupon so applied.
