1 Creation
Necessity of
such powers here
Powers to any such effect could not be exercised
after the adjustment of the terms of the
agreement between Government and the Note Holder
that is, after the issue of the note, without express
authority from Parliament, nor even then
without such a departure as nothing t short of
necessity could warrant, from the rules of strict
justice: because the effect would be, to add new
conditions to a bargain already made.
— though not
established in
the case of Exchequer
Bills
No such powers (it is true) are either
exercised or conferred in the case of Exchequer
Bills: but in this respect the two cases stand
upon altogether different grounds. In the one
case the utmost duration of the Annuity is extremely
short: in the other unless reduced subject to the chance of redemption it is perpetual.
