Offences against Condition — Adultery Reasons

First then with regard to the private mischief.

Mischiefs it is apt to produce to individuals This species of property may be by much the most valuable
part of the property a man possesses. On the other
hand, it may also be by much the least valuable:
it may become worth less than nothing, by the burthens
with which it is charged with, and by the impossibility
of getting rid of those burthens. However Moreover
when it is of most value, the nature of this offence
is not to deprive him of the property, but
only to impair the value of it render it of less value than it was before.
As to the loss in point of value the amount of
it is liable to infinite variation: It depends in a great degree upon the mental sensibility and thereby upon the taste, moral sentiments, rank, education & nature of the injured husband. but it is very
frequently so great as to constitute the offence
a very cruel injury.
