Place and Time 7
unwholesome neighborhood of Calcutta: and the
actors may be exasperated to such a degree to such a pitch,
as to seek one another's death.
At various times various individuals have
been forcibly sent home from India: always for
various real or pretended misdemeanors to the great diminution, sometimes to the total
ruin of their fortunes. The conduct of the government
has in some of these instances been justified
by law, and in all of them I believe, by
policy and good intention. But if at one time
twenty or thirty men in so inferior
stations were in the wrong, so at another time may
two or three in a higher: and then if the
sufferers die, their families are reduced from
affluence to indigence, and the oppressors triumph.
The influence of this rule of law extends
to a multitude of cases besides that in which
a corporeal injury is the mos cause of the
pecuniary wrong. I know an instance where a
young woman received a thousand pounds of a
man for the breach of a promise of marriage: he
died a day or two after judgment: had he
died a few days sooner, the money remedy would have
been lost. I know as an<add>inproltic</add> officer, who by a false suggestion
of absence has been turned out of his in supplanted in his
place office. This The damage to his fortune has he
reckons at something between twenty and thirty
thousand
