Satisfying
It is evident enough that the better the provision
is that is made for affording to the injured
protection and redress, the weaker the motives
that urge him to attempt procuring it for himself.
When every pain that a man is exposed
to suffer by the conduct of another were to be
follow'd at the instant by a pleasure more than
equivalent in his eyes, and which has been was to have the same conduct for all cases no such appetite as the
irascible would exist. The supposition is evidently
an exaggerated one. But exaggerated
as it is there is truth enough in it to shew, that
every improvement that can be made in this
branch of the administration of justice tends necessarily
to diminish the force of the vindictive
appetite, and to divert the current of the [and to check the enormities of that
branch of the irascible.]
Mr has observed, speaking of the cruel
barbarous periods of our English history that the great difficulty
was to get the party injured to accept of
satisfaction: and that the laws by which satisfaction
was provided was for them as much in view
the seetting bounds to his resentment, as the providing
a gratification for it.
