Instructions to the Legislator

With regard to such clauses as for the safeguard
of innocence are inserted for the sake purpose of
printing out particular circumstances that may
have the object of defeating the general presumption
of guilt that may be deserved to be deduced from some
evidentiary fact that has been mentioned, such
clauses mos might commonly it should seem
be left out of the popular edition of the Code
and inserted only in the full edition, under
the head of instructions to the Judge. For it is
not till a prosecution is already commenced that
in general there can be occasion for a party to
advert to them. If the circulation of them lie
as extensive as that of the other parts of the particular
code might and ought to be, the danger is
least they should encourage offenders, by assisting
them in the invention of [expedients
for evasion] evasive schemes.

Preference however must be openly and expressly
made to them: lest the body of the law should lose
its efficacy by an example: for a single instance
where the threats of the law openly promulgated have
been rendered vain by a secret reservation will be enough
to make a wide breach in the efficacy of the whole
system.
