Simple Personal Injuries
how revived
Also any circumstance materially adding to the
malignity of the injury, and coming to light after
the rest, may be deemed to have revived it.
Example
As if you hear that a man has beaten
your son, and three weeks after hear that your
son has lost his arm leg by the beating, or that the
man being armed fell upon your son unarmed
and beat him after he had sued for mercy; and
three weeks after that you fell upon the man
and beat him, the provocation is still to be deemed
a recent one.
A series of provocations become recent by connection
In like manner a chainseries of distinct provocations
which are all of them recent with respect to one
another, and of which the last is recent with respect
to the injury shall all of them be deemed
recent with respect to the injury.
One quarrel, what
A series of provocations all of them recent
with respect to one another and with respect
to a personal injury which concludes them constitute
what may be termed one and the same quarrel.
Prosecutions for the same quarrel may be consolidated
In a prosecution for a simple personal injury
or a personal insult either party may give evidence make proof of
any thing that happened during the course of the same
quarrel: and the Court upon consideration of the whole
quarrel may order both or neither to make compensation
to the other as also on either or neither or both inflict
a pecuniary or other penalty and it may order either to
pay the whole or any part of the other's costs.
