9 Sept. 1810. Read.
Aº 177- Written Aº 1809 Marginal contended
Penal Code Offences against Reputation

1
Opposite Dangers to be guarded
against –
1. Leaving reputation
unprotected.
2. – weakening the moral
sanction. p.1.

2.
Closely connected with
Defamation is Vituperation
– Syn. Vilification Revilement,
Reproach: generality
makes the difference. p.2.

3.
Vituperation is most distinct
from Defamation
when aversion or contempt
is indicated without the
cause. Examples, Scoundrel &c. p.2.

4.
Defamation is most
distinct from Vituperation
when the disreputable
act is imputed, but,
without any expression
of aversion or contempt. p.2.

5.
Defamation is more
circumstantial. p.2.

6
Reproach is more concise
– omitting persons, places,
times, &c. p.3.

7.
Defamation is the most apt
to be susceptible of proof.
Ex. gr. lyar, drunkard,
& glutton more defamatory:
miser, misanthrope,
hypocrite more vituperative. p.3.

8
Defamation in absence is
worse than in presence. p.3.

9.
Reasons –
1. Presence Presence gives a man the
opportunity of defending
himself: which by the supposition
he will do with
the advantage, which truth
gives over falshood: his
deportment will afford presumption
of innocence. In in
his absence, the imputation
has time to spread with
additions and for want of timely
contradiction may become
indelible. p.4.
