Question

man in a City office who threw a passenger out of his lift
the other morning and was fined for the offence was undoubtedly in the
wrong. It was a question of 'Please'. The complainant entering the lift;
said, "Top'. The lift-man demanded 'Top-please' and this concession
being refused he not only declined to comply with the instruction, but
hurled the passenger out of the lift. This, of course was carrying a
comment on manner too far. Discourtesy is not a legal offence, and it
does not excuse assault and battery. If a burglar breaks into my house
and I knock him down, the law will acquit me, and if I am physically,
assaulted, it will permit me to retaliate with reasonable violence. It does
this because the burglar and my assailant have broken quite definite
commands of the law, but no legal system could attempt to legislate
against bad manners, or could sanction the use of violence against
something which it does not itself recognize as a legally punishable
offence. And whatever our sympathy with the liftman, we must admit
that the law is reasonable. It would never do if we were at liberty to box
people's ears because we did not like their behavior, or the tone of their
voices, or the scowl on their faces. Our fists would never be idle, and
the gutters of the City would run with blood all day.
