The Governor General had reason to fear, he said, that some of the boats that went out would not come back, and he was going to lose no Belgian property subject to German seizure without full compensation.

He would only now observe, before he sat down, in answer to certain ideas thrown out, that he could by no means acquiesce in any compensation for losses, which might be sustained by the people of Liverpool, or by others in any other part of the kingdom, in the execution of this just and necessary undertaking.

Third, a permanent strengthening of our unemployment compensation system to maintain for our fellow citizens searching for a job who cannot find it, their purchasing power and their living standards without constant resort as we have seen in recent years by the Congress and the Administrations to temporary supplements.

"Then, I will engage you," said Mrs. Mason. "You can come here at eight every evening." "I will do so with pleasure." "And for compensation I will pay you as much as my brother does." "I wouldn't charge anything for helping Roy," said Andy. "It would only be a pleasure to me." "Andrew," said Mr. Crawford. "I am afraid you will never make a business man if you are willing to work on those terms.

The historians who favor Richard for even this tyrant has met with partisans among the later writers maintain that he was well qualified for government had he legally obtained it, and that he committed no crimes but such as were necessary to procure him possession of the crown; but this is a poor apology when it is confessed that he was ready to commit the most horrid crimes which appeared necessary for that purpose; and it is certain that all his courage and capacity qualities in which he really seems not to have been deficient would never have made compensation to the people for the danger of the precedent and for the contagious example of vice and murder exalted upon the throne.

We love fair-play, however, so you will find in this envelope a cheque which we have reason to believe is fully equal to the value of your saloon and all its contents. Your lost time and trouble is your own affair. As you came without invitation, you must go without compensation. Here are your rifles, and revolvers, emptied of cartridges, and there are your horses saddled."

We have referred above, when dealing with the legitimacy of commercial profits, to the difficulty which was felt in admitting the justice of compensation for risk, on account of the Gregorian Decretal on the subject. The same decree gave rise to the same difficulty in connection with the justification of a recompense for periculum sortis.

'If he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters, i.e. he shall take care that his son uses her as his wife, that he does not despise or maltreat her. If he make his son marry another wife, he shall give her her dowry, her clothes and compensation for her virginity; if he does none of these three, she shall go out free without money."

No heed was paid to the protest at the time but some years later, upon the strength of an opinion by Attorney General Hoar, the tax on the compensation of the President and the judges was discontinued and the amounts theretofore collected were refunded.
