HOMICIDE. Casual - Off. Access." of inconsulto non ex inopinato Watermin.
But as there is one number, viz: at which the mischief
begins to be probable, so is there another
at which different for different vessals it must be certain; & between these

with. Was the number such, in any a given case
as to wake the probability awareness? that depends
upon the circumstances of each vessel;
which it being inpossible for the Legislature
to describe or to foresee, it judges [for want
of any other rule from necessity] by the event. — It discharges
a part of the danger upon him in whose power
it was before, & now his interest, to prevent
the whole.
