A TREATISE

ON THE

MEASURE OF DAMAGES.

prosecution-Ele- | § 461. False imprisonment-Loss of

$428. Torts in general.-Having thus considered the general rules which govern and limit compensation in all cases, we now proceed to consider the special rules applicable in actions of tort; deferring, however, the examination of such torts as affect real estate to a later chapter. The technical forms prescribed by the common law for the redress of wrongs, or, as they are termed, actions ex delicto, were trover, case, trespass, replevin, and detinue. The divisions of the system in this respect were arbitrary; there being many actions nominally in tort, which in respect to the measure of relief, were treated as virtually actions ex contractu; and in these cases a fixed rule of damages has always been adhered to. In all cases of tort where no question of fraud,

1 The old action of detinue is of comparatively rare occurrence, and is frequently abolished by statute.

Grotius thus begins his chapter: De Damno. Supra diximus ejus quod nobis debetur fontes esse tres; pactionem maleficium—legem. De pactionibus satis

tractatum. Veniamus ad id quod ex maleficio naturaliter debetur. Lib. ii, cap. 17, 1, De Jure Belli et Pacis. Grotius treats only of Damnum, under this head of Maleficium. De Jure Belli et Pacis. lib. ii, cap. 17.
