Passage 1
The young lift-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
fiam 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 violenceagainst something which
it does not itself recognize as a legally punishable offence. And our sympathy with the lift-man, 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 behaviour, 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.
i may be as uncivil as I may please and the law will protect me against violent retaliation. I may be
haughtyor boorish and there is no penalty to pay except the penalty of being written down an ill-man-
nered fellow. The law does not compel me to say "Please" or to attune my voice to other people's
sensibilities any more than it says that I shall not wax my moustache or dye my hair or wear ninglets
down my back. It does not recognize the laceration of our feelings as a case for compensation. There is
no allowance for moral and intellectual damages in these matters
