Intricacy in procedure may be 1. in substance or 2. in forms of description
The trouble of carrying them on and the
chance of their not being carried on are both
influenced by the any difficulty of there may be on apprehending
and bearing them in mind on the part of
those by whom they are respectively to be
carried on. This difficulty will depend
partly upon the nature and number of them those tasks themselves; as before which
in one of the circumstances upon which the difficulty
of give going through them depends
as we have seen, supposing them already
understood: partly upon the[+] Description manners
[+] description given of them in the laws
in which they are described. This description
belongs to comes under the head of stile: and belongs to
the title of Composition, to which it must
for the present be dismissed. The more intricate
they are in themselves, the more intricate they are likely to
be in the Description: the intricaty of the description goes on in an increasing ratio

Rules for the avoidance of intricacy
The above observation will probably
be thought be sufficient to have paved the way to the following rules or maxims.
Rule.1. A Defendant ought not to be made to suffer
by any circumstance foreign to his guilt:
Not so
Rule.2. Nor saved by any circumstance foreign
to his innocence.
