RS 3 NOTORIETY VOLUMINOUSNESS. STYLE 20 VULGARIA 3 proestant TECHNICIS. etenim hac
non nisi . illa & his & omnibus.
Technica adhibcantor nisi deficit non vulgaribus nut sater proecifes.
20 In the particular oeconomical Codes, a term in common use to be preferred to the technical Term
where equally expressive. & to be used alone for a Technical Term is understood only by persons of the Art [alone]
& a term in common use is understood by them and every body else beside.
Example - Wheels Trollies of the breadth [or gauge] of 9 Inches from side to side" 28th Geo.2, c.17.§5. Tis by these rules before I had drawn them out into formed that have been governed in the construction of the proposed Laws constitutive of the several offences & their punishments, under the form of definitions of those offences & 'tis by these I have judged them since.

21 Verbosity from repeating in every one the clause taking away & Wager a more than one
of Law.
22. -v.6 RECITATIONES pra defectu partium litulis distinetarum
Let not any one affect to despise what he may call a syllabical Oeconomy when of every syllable too much one may have reason to least to some person or other it may render the whole useless by being too burthensome to be retained - when it is be consider'd that [the whole savings is to be composed of] compounded for- such partial minute <add>& particular savings</add> run extend through & compound the whole. The savings of a halfpenny to a man who had a penny to lay out but a penny may be no object: but it becomes one when that saving is to be made out of every a penny in in every pound of his fortune.
22. Verbosity in reciting verbatim a ss repealed instead of referring to it. An instance
of this in Stat. 12. G.2 c.36. §3. repealing the Stat. that of 8 Ann c.19 §4 concerning
the setting the Prices of Books. This latter section filling near a an 8 vo page & 1/2 & such an
8 vo page as contains more than double the quantity of ordinary 8 vo pages is included
in the repealing former, in such a manner that the Nominative case stands at all this distance
from it's verb — — In the '3' Ch.1 c.4. which made for the continuance of certain Statutes, the Sta Nominative
case & verb are separated by an interval of 2 1/2 pages.
XLVIII REPEALS by description instead of by name
23. Imperfect Repeals — when a former Act is repealed as to "so much", when that "so much
is all that it contains — Instance 5 & 6th 2d 6 Drapery Repealing all former Laws concerning
the 1st making. 2d Dying 3. dressing. 4. pressing 5. carching. 6. Sealing
24
24 Verbosity in Revenue Laws when new duties are imposed upon commodities; adding the new
to the old which the old is suffer'd to stand: instead of including both in one adding them together. Instance in Spirits
for which see "Brandy" in the Index — no fewer than 87 incrementory duties are suffer'd imposed by different
to stand besides the original one of 4d pr Gallon
25
25. Verbosity from different limitations of time to sue
26
26. Verbosity from giving in several Costs to the Dept [& not in others Qu.]
27
27 Verbosity from giving liberty to plead in several most Qu
28 REPETITIO clausulae generalis communis singulis vicibus.
28 In the 4 & 5 W. & M c.5 §2. certain duties are given upon articles therein specified, (which had already been charged a then "more
Book of Rates 12 Car. 2d c. ) c. than the same are charged with in the said Book of Rates — This passage takes up
in of the Statutes which is Pickering's — there being x articles on the subject of whi which
it is repealed — on this score alone there are just x - 1 more in that section than there is any use for.
v. also 5 W & M. 21. §3. Stamps. Certificate.
29
Oeconomico-final. 29. Voluminousness from specific permissions to buy sell & to import - remedied by an -universal per
permission except as excepted.
