1828. Oct. 30
Petition for Justice.

1. Case
(2 IX Decision not on Merits

IX Decision not on merits
26
See Law Books.

Such the error ascribing
decisions
in Law Books.

27
Warning none.
Error.

Error may consist
in the violation of
a rule never published:
never made,
till the instrument
pronounced erroneous
is brought to
view.

28+
Ex post facto.

Reprobated by Judges
is an ex-post facto
law: legislature made
ex-post-facto laws
are all they make.

29+
Ex post facto.

Confessed it has here
been that originally
without such Judge
made laws, society
could not have been
kept together: secus,
none.

30+
Ex post facto.:

Incapable of being
are the ex-post
facto
laws on
these occasions
made.

Ex post factorable.
Unconjecturable.

The stronger a man's
understanding, the
surer he would be
not to guess their existence.

31
Murderer's Impunity

Examples. Murderer
acquitted, because
his being instigated
by the Devil male

IX. Decision not on ms
32
Unconjecturable

32.
By any man in
his senses, would any
Judge in his senses,
be expected for such
an omission to call
for a verdict of not guilty.

33
Use Double + + Fountain

Further advantage
from the power of
groundless nullification.

Exercised it may be
or not ad libitum
and by accident, it
might be more advantageous
to a Judge to
favor the right than
the wrong side.

34+
Use Double Fountain

34
Of late this faculty
of disregarding the nullifying
rule has been
exercised.

35
Praise upon Judge Sure

Thus, whether he conforms
to or violates
the nullification
rule, the Judge is
sure of praise.

The King can do no
wrong: a Judge nothing
but what is praiseworthy.

36
Use to Judge.
Delay – profit Sure.

Consequence of temporary
nullification
by Writs of error. For
the profit by the interest
money withheld
from under the assurance
of loss of cause.

IX. Decision &c
37+
Ex post Facto in Legislation

By Legislation, ex post
facto
law (rarely made)
is made with authority:
by Judges what
even is made is ex-post
facto
, and made
without it.

38+
Ex post facto in Legislatn.

Example. For an alledged
mistake in a
proper name, the
rule which, in this
case, nullifies proceedings
may be observed
or disregarded:
impunity thus
given or withholden.

39+
Nullification, fiction

39.
Nullification is fiction.
In the few instances
in which it
is conducive to justice,
might be better
done without it: by
compensation for the
effects of what is done
amiss.

40
Contracts.

In case of Contracts,
nullification is in
many instances necessary,
but stands
on different grounds.
