Aliter in matters of corporal suffering and in the distri-
-bution of personal suffering popular delictum or of punish-
ment.
Tho' a man suspected ***so his house to be burned down
or his wife to be ravished that could not make it just no
more would it, if he were broke upon the wheel for example for simple theft.
Whether A should have a thing or B is matter of perfect
indfference to C & D & so of the rest. And if the desire
of A that he himself should have it rather than B
be great, that of B is equally so that he himself should have
it rather than A. Whichsoever of them has it, the
satisfaction on the one side, and the mortification on the
other will be alike — But if A has either had it for a
long time, or fixed his eyes upon it, and expected to have
it, or that he ought to have it, and B comes to look
at it only for the first time, it is plain that the mortifica-
-tion on the count of B's having it and not A, will be
greater than that in the other event of A's having it &
not B. The Sum of Happiness of the whole commu-
-nity will therefore suffer just so much of Diminution.
Further, if the case be so, that not only A expects ??????
more strongly to have the the thing that B does, but C and D.
and the rest expect so likewise, & think (no matter from
what cause) that he ought to have it, here again is a
larger flow of disappointment consequent upon his not
having it, especially, if as is almost always the case
C & D and many of the rest, being so situated in respect
of antagonists of their own as are A & B, in respect to
one another, apprehend that from the same cause from which
the dispute (should the case be such) would terminate
in disfavour of A, their disputes would terminate in —
like manner in their disfavour.
Where original Utility is neuter, as in many points
relating to the course of succession, consult
popular Ex-
-pectation from thence results a derivative utility —
where that Expectation is neuter, Utility follows Certain-
-ty fixed on either side —.
Positive extablishment of a long continuance will divert
the amount of popular expectation as Common Law Heirship
& Borough English.
Introd. Utility Original x Nat. Justice Polit. x Natural = Ex- BR 2 -pectation.
