Evidence

This plan of policy has been more conspicuously exemplified in
the English edition of the technical system than in the French. To the
former therefore let us look in preference for the illustration of it.

Among the offences which over which for the preservation of society
it is most necessary to keep a strict hand, and which at the same time, in
spite of every thing that can be done precaution that can be taken against them by legislation, vigilance will
ever be by far the most numerous, nor the offences crimes of rapacious indigence.
A great majority, say 19 or 20 the say 19 out of 20 at least 9 or 10 9 out of 10 of
that heterogenous mass of first and second rate offences, which from by
the heterogenous mass of hodge podge punishment that has been annexed to them have been lumped
together under the denomination of felonies, have their origin in
that situation in life, coupled with that motive. This consideration it is
that appears to have determined the spirit tone of the mode of procedure
appropriate to the case of felony.

A man whose in whom the desperate of attempting
at the hazard of life to seize the property of another proceeds for has no other
than would not never have been formed had he possessed as the fruit of his
own industry the means of sustenance, would not in general be
able to put in as a plea to a declaration in the Common
Pleas or an answer to a Bill in Equity. Accordingly, the
ever though hitherto never written maxim that neither Plaintiff
nor Defendant, much less both together, shall ever be admitted
till it is impossible they should any longer be kept out, and the
presence of a Judge, does not extend to felonies. Quick work
accordingly.
