Mode of proof as to Law
and find list in false-pretence Act
3.G.2.c.24 applied
3.G.2.c.24 Published
Now for matter of law, and matter of fact together. For
a sample specimen of the matter of law take for example the Statute Ao 1757 of George
3.G.2.c.24 the second Ao 1757 in and by which it is inserted §.11 that ...
"all persons who, knowingly and designedly, by false pretence
"or pretences, shall obtain from any person ... money ...
"with intent to defraud any person ... of the same ...
"shall be deemed Offenders against law and the public peace,
"and the Court, before whom such Offenders ... shall
"be tried, shall in case he ... be convicted ... order such
"Offender, to be put into the Pillory, or be publickly whipped,
"or to be transported ... for the term of seven years
For a specimen of the matter of the facts contained under
the description of the above law were in the character of subject
matter of violent prohibition and such acts creating a demand
for punishment in one or other of the four abovementioned to be inflicted
on each individual convicted of having exercised or as the word is
committed an and coming under its genus or species of acts
so demonstrated take the sort of act exercised by every Member
in Chancery (if there be any such one) by whom to
has been on a certain day received from him, in recompense retribution
for attention paid by him on that same day, he not having on
that same day paid any such attention. So many instances
of such receipt so many instances of , in construction of the
same Act, received and obtained in a false pretence. In a work of
Mr Benthams published by the late Mr Dumont so long ago in the year
18.. acts of this description were held up to view as
being part and parcel of what was in those days even among all
the Equity Judges of a subordinate termed Masters in Chancery
habitual and constant practice. Such Seen that here such it has repeatedly
been declared to be in a variety of works that have been
mentioned: some of these official and authenticated
Identifier: | JB/004/123/001 "JB/" can not be assigned to a declared number type with value 4.
