2. As to crimes of Treason against the Nation for
which whatever is meant by the appellation, thus
much is certain seems clear that they are crimes which may
like most others, may be committed by any man in any place. If a
news-hawker or day-labourer is discovered in a plot
for raising an insurrection against the National Assembly
in Dauphiny or Flanders or Brittany is he
immediately to be sent for to Paris, and a pompous
High-Court of Justice to be created for the
purpose of Ju trying this insignificant individual?
And what if hundreds like him should be discovered
in plots of the same kind in every district of the
Kingdom?

3. As to crimes inducing forfeiture on the part of
Courts of Justice, for the trial of these as well as other crimes committed
by Judges in virtue or by colour of their
office the natural jurisdiction is that of their next
immediate superiors. Why create a High Court
of Justice at Paris for the trial of a little petty
Judge of a district near Marseilles Antibes or Perpignan?

4. By Administrative bodies he evidently means the
Provincial and Sub-provincial & Municipal Assemblies, or as I should
term them collectively the local representative bodies legislatures. The appellation
of Administration given to them proceeds the error
so common elsewhere as well as in France of confounding
administration with & subordinate legislation, and not
admitting any power to the denomination of legislative
which has any other authority over it. But of this elsewhere.
