Lumped in this manner together, what the two words frivolous
and vexatious, do serve for, is to mark the disapprobation
excited in the mind of the legislator at by the contemplation
of the conduct in question of, and thereby in a
loose and general way to mark it out for censure. What they do
not both or either of them, or both is to make out with sufficient
distinctness the species of conduct imputed, and consequently
the ground of the whatever censure may come to be applied
in consequence. Here as in every other case of blame-worthy
conduct the delinquency admitts of the two shades
or degrees above described, shades differing every the difference
between which is at material, clear and wide.

A circumstance that renders the enquiry the more contributes in no small degree towards
giving importance to the enquiry worthy of attention and to the distinction which is
the subject of it, is that the words frivolous and vexatious
are the words that so often receive in the judgments decisions
pronounced grounded on the Grenville Act.
