the grounds of the Enactments prohibition of
maleficent acts productive of evil affecting
persons that is to say either in body or mind
in any mode not comprized in one or other
of the modes of maleficience from which the
the acts constituted offences in and by the Penal Code
receive their denomination.

other than that derived from the contemplation
of suffering in this or that shape as about to be
produced on the part of another evil is accordingly
produced on the part of that other gratification
in a certain shape is accordingly produced in the
breast of such evil doer call the gratification
the pleasure of antipathy satisfied or of ill will satisfied.

conception that by the party in question (say the victim) evil
in any shape has been done to the evil doer, the pleasure
of antipathy gratified takes the name of Repleasure of
defiances of say revenges.

that the pleasure of antipathy gratified is so great
as the pain suffered by him at whose expense as above
the pleasure is reaped.
