Simple Personal Injuries
In the four first of the above cases there is
room for heedlessness or negligence.
In the 7th case the intention is as perfect
with respect to the damage as it can be: the only difference between that
case, and the case where the eventual damage was
ultimately intentional is that in this latter case
the motive is hatred or revenge, and in the former
not that but some other.
When no particular reason appears for
attributing a personal injury to any other motive
the natural presumption is that the motive was hatred or
revenge.
Where a personal injury appears to have
been intended the presumption is that the damage
that happen'd was the damage that was intended
Gross negligence may when at the extreme
be equal equivalent to intention
Where any damage was intended, let
full compensation be given for all the damage that was
done. but let punishment be given applied only for so much
as was intended.
Where more damage was intended than
ensued, let punishment be applied on account of the
, as for an attempt.
Where no damage was in any way intended,
and there was no heedlessness degree of negligence
is in any respect imputable to the author, let compensation
be thus order'd. 1 . Let such a sum be supposed to be
exacted
