Offences against the National Interest in general.
Nature of this division. The title of Offences against the National Interest in
general may serve to include all such acts of which it is supposed that
they may prove prejudicial in one or more of the several ways in which
an act can be prejudicial to the community, but without its appearing which.
In this respect it bears some analogy to those offences
against individuals to which we have given the name of Offences against
condition.
It may serve as a miscellaneous title under which may
be ranked any offences which cannot properly be ranked under any
single one of any of the preceding classes.
How it connects with the preceding ones. From what has been seen already of the nature of this
Class it is plain that the contents of it cannot be arranged in any
exhaustive method like those of the other classes. The offences that appear
to belong to it must be picked up here and there as they occur.
This however will not form any exception to the precision and comprehensiveness of the arrangement: The limits of this division are
by no means out of sight: they are determined by the limits of divisions
which precede it. It is neither more nor less than one great
area in which all those others are inscribed. A
Identifier: | JB/072/054/001 "JB/" can not be assigned to a declared number type with value 72.
