It is a vain thing to imagine a right without a remedy; for want of right and want of remedy are reciprocal. - John Holt

Every injury imports a damage, though it does not cost the party one farthing, and it is impossible to prove the contrary; for a damage is not merely pecuniary, but an injury imports a damage, when a man is hereby hindered of his right. As in an action for slanderous words, though a man does not lose a penny by reason of the speaking them, yet he shall have an action. So if a man give another a cuff on the ear, though it cost him nothing, no, not so much as a little diachylon, yet he shall have his action, for it is a personal injury.

We cannot alter the law, we are bound by our oaths to proceed according to the law as it is at present.

Shall we relieve a man, that trusts when he needs not?
