It would be a defect

It is evident enough that of all expedients for
this purpose the most effectual is that of seizing
the person of the supposed offender and thenceforward
keeping him always in an a determinate place or
the custody of a determinate person or persons till
the occasions arise [on which it is requisite he which call for him to be
should be] recognized. But this expedient is liable
to two objections: If it is inelig oftentimes very commonly impracticable:
and in point of inconvenience to the supposed offender it is expensive: 1. It is As to it's being very commonly
impracticable: this it must always be, where
the person party who detects is not either by himself
or by such assistance as he can collected on the
spot, superior in point of strength and that to a
considerable degree to the party who is detected. 2.
In point of inconvenience to the supposed offender
it is expensive. In slight cases it will often exceed even supposing the
party to be guilty
the quantum of suffering proper to be inflicted on a man in
the way of punishment, in the event of his proving
guilty: and as yet it is not determined but that appear ascertained that he
he may be is not innocent. These considerations make it
necessary to look out for expedients of a more practicable
and milder nature.
