Kinds of Statutes — enlarging and restraining
trouble. I will not trespass upon his patience
by offering proposing to him half go the many hoarded
examples any one of which might go near to
give him equal trouble. I will content my—
self with a single one, the first that comes
across me. The Act for terming Law pro—
ceedings or so much of it the Statute in question
as concerns that matter, is that an enlarging
statute or a restraining one? The Common Law
there was on that behalf before the making of
that Statute was it "too lax and luxuriant",
or was it too narrow and circumscribed?
Will our Author now take part the word I have given set
him I pass it off hand through these rules if his own
discourse or will he leave it to some junior
to take his place?
To finish what has been said upon these words
in a strain of precision similar to that which he manifested
by our Author in the use of them
one might venture to intimate to him, that un—
less he could leave enlarged his comprehension
of the subject, he might e'en as well have re—
strained himself from + speaking of it middling without
+ having to do with it.
