1821. April 29. First Line Constitutional
Penal Law.

Needless. In the import of the word conspiracy, where the act is
treated on the footing of a crime, the idea of secresy is included:
to conspire is to exchange make mutual communication of opinions,
desires and endeavours, if they bear any relation to the
Government, have, for their object, the bringing about some
change in the government, which change, howsoever desirable
in the eyes of those who thus project it, would not (so they are assured)
be so in the eyes of the existing rulers. For on the supposition
of its beingso, the conspiracy secresy has no use. In an absolute
Monarchy no change presented by any pair of hands more
than one, can be agreeable in the eyes of the Monarch or of
any under him. If in itself it be agreeable to them and it had not
of itself presented itself to any of them, they may vouch safe acceptance
to it if presented to them by no more than a single
pair of hands, and in an cringing attitude: yes and even if presented
by any such hands, after conference on the subject between two
or more persons in an erect posture. But in this case, while they
are availing themselves of the plan, they will punish the Authors
as being conspirators.
