Of Compensation.
3. Apprehension of
punishment should
have an end
3. Because it may be fit, in regard to small offences that the anxiety
a man is under at the apprehension of the above inconvenience
should at some period or other be made to cease; especially
since the suffering it produces, being secret and concealed from
the eyes of man, has in comparison but little efficacy in the
way of punishment example.
4. Danger of
groundless suits.
4. Because of the door it might open to malicious or other
groundless suits, if parties pretending to have been damnified
were permitted to sue at a time when witnesses might
be dead or absent out of knowledge, and when the memory
of such circumstances as might serve for exculpation might
naturally be obliterated.
Circumstances
which save Compensation
from being
extinguished.
In the following cases no length of time shall extinguish
the right of receiving compensation.
1. Ignorance
1. If it appears that the party damnified knew not of the
offence soon enough to prosecute within the time; in such case
such further time shall be allowed him as to the Judge
shall appear reasonable, not exceeding the time allowed by the Law.
