23.G.2 c. 26 by which of the late King c.26. By this all comprehensive Act no fewer than 11

As in this Statute there is something a spice of everything, it's some different
provisions come of course as one might be sure they would to
have something done to them by succeding
Laws. I turned to several of those Laws expecting to
use it according to the good old custom, brought
in over again in each of them: I was mistaken

there was not one that executed it <add> ventured upon [swallowing] it </add> it was only

For every thing by which difficulty can be lessen'd is contrary to custom as every thing by which it can be augmented is of course

It is some satisfaction however to find that the by this amongst
others that the repeating of the

NOTRIETY Hodge-podge Acts. Causes of them

With respect to those instances exertions of indemnitys to and recompense or
remission compensation exoneration which the Humanity of the Legislature is
always so ready to extend to persons individuals who have been the
innocent or meritorious objects of a calamity, the
truth is [that] the fees of office are so enormous, as that
sometimes unless some charitable Minister will give the sufferer
favoured person a Ride upon his Bill, to go near to cast up the profits of the
indulgence - Better however it were, that the claims
thus eluded, which enormous is they are, being established,

out of the national public treasure, then or if the case is thought
to warrant a suspension, openly & directly, then the
simplicity of the Legislative operations violated by [ the
