DEFANCATION Words
According to the doctrine which for a long time
prevailed a man who would vent Scandal
against another so as to subject himself to
the chastisement of the Laws, must have studyed hard that
Law for words, to do it in, & then it would be a great chance whether he would succeed.
The emphaticalness of the expression instead
of heightening was formed, when subjected to
the absurd lists which the Lawyers of those
days, had set up, unless to have utterly destroyed
the effect
While these sanctioned I was more proud of imposition upon the subject
to tell him that the Law gave would give him
compensation for the loss of an injury to his good name,
when for one case in which this injury compensation could be
given obtained in ten others the injury would be aggravated
by the expences of a fruitless application Major If ever there was a perjur'd man in England, then not one: Minor but there has been a perjurd</add> man in England; in Conclusion Therefore one. I do not know whether that would have satisfied all of them: they might want his name.
