Constitutional Procedure CodeCh. Costs
Rough it is true must in general be the estimate
taken on an occasion of this sort by the Judge: for by a
minute inquiry into and disclosure of pecuniary circumstances,
in grievance burthen to a greater amount than relief
would frequently be produced. But : but if this ratio
were altogether neglected, how enormous the suffering
thus produced is capable of being is sufficiently manifest.
In case For proof of an enormous disproportion
manifest and unquestionable
disparity as to station in life will amply suffice.
In England or Ireland for example compare a day
labourer of the lowest paid class with a rich man
of the richest class: family circumstances equal the
taking one pound taken from the one would produce
several thousand times more suffering that if from
the other.
The result is that Now then suppose on the part of the loser
in one shape or other suppose more or less of blame in one shape or the other
or suspicion of blame: in such sort that if punishment
a portion more or less considerable be thought
fit regarded as required by the nature of the case. The In the case
note that prevails itself as a proper one is this.
Give in the first place to the without hesitation victor at the expence
of the vanquished such whatever sum is sum may be thought fit to be
taken from the vanquished for the purpose of punishment:
but beyond this give not anything the by the
taking of which more pain would be produced to the
loser than pleasure to the receiver.
