Exposition.

[(A) Les mischief] As if a man were suddenly to assault
You with a stick at a time that a stout stick and an iron
bar of the same size were both lying within your reach :
where upon snatching up the iron bar you strike him in
such a manner as to give him dangerous bruise or kill
him . In such case unless it sppears that you deliberately took
up the iron bar in preference to the stick intending therewith
to kill him or hurt him more than was necessary , it
shall still be accounted justifiable self-defence

[(B) Uncertain efficacy] As if in the case just mentioned it happened
that you were much weaker than the assailant ; insomuch
that it would have been doubtful whether with the less
powerful weapon of the two, you could have effectually defended
Yourself.
