If the cause be lawful ,
the party will be justified ;
if unlawful ,
he will be condemned .
The following is an example in criminal law of an immediate and remote cause .
If Peter ,
of malice prepense ,
should discharge a pistol at Paul ,
and miss him ,
and then cast away the pistol and fly and ,
being pursued by Paul ,
he turn round ,
and kill him with a dagger ,
the law considers the first as the impulsive cause ,
and Peter would be guilty of murder .
But if Peter ,
with his dagger drawn ,
had fallen down ,
and Paul in his haste had fallen upon it and killed himself ,
the cause of Paul '
s death would have been too remote to charge Peter as the murderer .
