Tit. VII. B Obs

District Court of Appeal Observ. in Art. 6

Where no decision has been given, thee is nothing
to appeal from. But in a criminal matter by the mere forbearance
of giving a decision all the mischief may be done
of the most unjust decision. A criminal may
be screened from the punishment which is his due:
or an innocent person virtually condemned to
perpetual imprisonment. Petitions for expedition
must therefore be equally allowed, where there
is an appeal allowed, and where there is none. Neither
can complaints for be misbehaviour be suppressed
because the succession of appeals is made
to stop; for though the repeated reconsideration
of the same affair must be put an end to
somewhere: but if complaints for misbehaviour
were any-where forbidden [+] [+] in instances where there was no appeal. [+]b accusations of that sort would be disallowed 'so much as a beginning the Court thus complained
forbidden to be complained of would
have the power of doing as it pleased.
