John Holt (Lord Chief Justice): Man

“Let all people come in, and vote fairly; it is to support one or the other party, to deny any man's vote.”

“It is abominable to convict a man behind his back.”

“Where a man has but one remedy to come at his right, if he loses that he loses his right.”

“A man may be reputed an able man this year, and yet be a beggar the next; it is a misfortune that happens to many men, and his former reputation will signify nothing.”

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

“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.”

“Every man that is injured ought to have his recompence.”

“Shall we indict one man for making a fool of another?”

“It is a disparagement of the Government, who put an ill man into office.”
