The use of the legend is — to give room for the
framing of the prohibition in such a sort manner,
that the question, in case of prosecution, the
question whether the prohibition was meant to be
contravened, or no may be the less liable open to dispute
Resemblance, real or intended, will always be more
or less open to dispute; dimensions (taking sufficient
latitude) dimensions and the insertion existence
of a legend to a certain effect around the supposed
portrait may be so described as to be altogether insusceptible
clear of dispute.

An answer is now may now be in readiness to be given to
the question why the Auditor of the Exchequer
is chosen for the subject of the portrait rather than
an indifferent person, a person at large — the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, or the Sovereign in the throne.

The Auditor in contradistinction to a stranger —
as being an officer of high rank — an officer and one whose
office is connected with the service. As it lies it appertains
to within to his department, to give the instrument
his signature, the portrait is but an natural
accompaniment to that signature. The paper in
question is a species of coinage the issue money of
which it belongs to his department to superintend
the coinage. In the case instance of metallic money
the image of the Sovereign stands as it were in the place lieu of
signature.
