A remote cause is not in general sufficient to charge a man with the commission of a crime ,
nor with being the author of a tort .
2 .
When a man suffers an injury in consequence of the violation of a contract ,
he is in general entitled to damages for the violation of such contract ,
but not for remote consequences ,
unconnected with the contract ,
to which he may be subjected ;
as ,
for example ,
if the maker of a promissory note should not pay it at maturity ;
the holder will be entitled to damages arising from the breach of the contract ,
namely ,
the principal and interest ;
but should the holder ,
in consequence of the non -
payment of such note ,
be compelled to stop payment ,
and lose his credit and his business ,
the maker will not be responsible for such losses ,
on account of the great remoteness of the cause ;
so if an agent who is bound to account should neglect to do so ,
and a similar failure should take place ,
the agent would not be responsible for the damages thus caused .
