Voluminousness. Style. 39.Officers Officers

39. The Synonysms to be settled among correspondent officers in Corporations in respect to whom the Nomenclature
of is at present frequently — confounded — Thus "Bailiff" in one place will mean
the same as "Mayor" in another viz. the head officer — in another it well mean
an infer officer subordinate to the a Mayor, of which there shall be one in
the same Corporation — and shall will sometimes single sometimes double — Mayor however may always stand for the head officer, & therefore for the Bailiff
in such Corporations where he is & the Head-Officer — and it is I believe, only
with the head officer whatever he be called, that General statutes have usually
any concern.

Aldermen might be a generical term for all members of a select body, where
there is such an one — as might Freemen for the inferior order of Inhabitants
of a Borough having Corporate rights Inhabitants meaning those bars Non-Freemen all the inhabitants who
are not invested with any such Character — & Inhabitants being the Genus Generalissia
comprehending as the name imports all persons who inhabit together

40. Precincts Loca.

---page break---

To the of an In like a instead of enumerating the respective names of correspondent Precincts,
the most usual appellation of that class of to be adopted — In
6. Geo. 1st 16. §1. Parish, Town, Hamlet, Vill or place. + + So whether it is to extend to Scotland or only to England and Wales to be considered in making every Statute. v. Hites' Rep. Jette "Way" for the a
difference between some of these denominations

41. Provisos

Verbosity from over-anxious unnecessary Provisos. — There cannot be a stronger proof of the general
apprehension of the uncertainty of the Law on it's present footing, than the extreme fads
taken so perpetually to guard against interpretations & constructions <add>in </add> for which not the least foundation
is given in any thing that occurs in the Text. — Thus in the Stat. 5.G.1. c.28. the enacting part of
which contains nothing more than a denomination of the punishment of Transportation
for the offences therein specified, and not a jot besides, the drawer has very sagely
declared, thought fit to declare that nothing therein contained shall be deemed to repeal any penalty defined by any former act
for those offences & Never did any thing pass in any Court of Justice Nothing is there to be found in any book to contravene
the notion that a subsequent incommensurable + + by incommensurate I call mean a penalty penalty of a different kind — thus & imprisonment are with respect to each other incommensurate penalties or greater penalty, abrogates a penalty
imposed by a prior Statute. But if in fact there had been any foundation for
this precaution, it would have been defective — for if the new penalty in the
Statute in question abrogated those obvious respectively established by former Statutes, made in have the same offence of
which there are several, By the same rule they abrogated each other, which no
thought is taken to prevent — Scarce a Statute but is laden with one or more encumbrances of this sort.
