An unjust Judgment in a Criminal Cause 2 if for the accused
affects the State; of 1 against the accused, affects
the Individual: in the first case the mischief is actual
and has an object certain: in the second case the object
of the mischief are uncertain, & the mischief itself contingent.
An unjust judgment, I mean all along where ti is known
to be so to some one either who passes or who procures it in
a cause betwixt party & party [i.e. where the Title to something
valuable is contested] affects, on which side soever
given, the individual: in either case it's mischief is actual
and it's object certain.

Wheresoever therefore we see an unmerited calamity
brought on a person by the abuse of any part of that legal
Mechanism which was constructed for his protection,
the offence of being instrumental in [so] bringing it on
has a Title to a Station in both classes, either the first
or third — I say of the 1st or 3d, for upon casting an eye
over the 2d, we shall presently be satisfied, that the offences
which appertain to that, can hardly be perpertrable
by the method of which I speak.

This is to blemish; but a blemish which I saw no method
to avoid — at least which I could not avoid without
incurring a greater. A Blemish it is as being a trespass

well grounded legitimate

Nor could I cure it but by a greater: —
The Character of the ultimate subdivisions in the first
class is taken from the different manner in mark of which the calamity,
calamity which is inflicted brought upon the suffering object.

As the Calamity may be drawn down by them in a circuitous
method not in one peculiar only, but in almost
every one of these [Differential marks] which in any
other offences are done in the direct, this would induce a
necessity of an equal number of divisions coming after
these which now stand as ultimate.

And each article of it, each offence must still have stood under the
same manner, in the 3d class here then is identity between
the members of the division, instead of opposition.

It must not be imagined because the Offences of the 1st Class
are stiled Offences against Individuals that therefore the
Estate has no concern in them: The state is as truly effects
by those of the 1st: as by those of the 3d. tho' in the former
case it may be only in an indirect and as it were reflex manner.

Nothing can injure an Individual but what it must also
injure prejudice the State: nothing can be an offence against the State
but what has at least a chance of injuring some Individuals.
