C
Of Unlawful Defamation.
6. With regard to disreputable Acts or Practices it matters
not whether they be deservedly so or not.
Reasons.
The degree in which a man suffers by being thought
to have done an Act reputed looked upon as immoral is in proportion not to
its real but to its imputed Immorality. A man will Sometimes
suffer very severely in the goodwill and estimation of
the community for an act which is not at all immoral,
or for an act which is not so immoral as it is reputed to
be. On the other hand there may be some instances in which
perhaps a man will not suffer at all in the good will or
esteem of the community though he be known to have committed
an Act which is really immoral; or at least will
not suffer so much as he would do if it were reputed as
immoral as it is.
At present different practices and qualities are
reputed in a different degree immoral in different circumstances: communities: partly because the same practices and qualities
which are detrimental in one community are not so in another
