Jeopardy

Offences Transgressions/Acts committed by the Servants of the Crown on this behalf
against in breach of the Declaration of Rights 1 W.3. Sess. 2. c.2.

This statute so familiar to English hopes, and once at
least dear to English hearts, under the name of the Bill of Rights, opens with the
recital of twelve heads
of transgression.

Acts "whereby the late King James the Second
"by the assistance of divers evil Counsellors, Judges, and Ministers
employed by him, did endeavour to subvert
the laws and liberties of this Kingdom.

1. Transgression the 1st in England—
Act. 1. "By assuming and exercising a power of dispensing
"with and suspending of laws, and the execution of laws,
"without consent of Parliament."

Parallel Analogous transgression in New South Wales. Exercising
legislative power by the hand of the Governor there,
without authority from Parliament, in an habitual train of unenumerated instances,
in the instances to the number of 60 or 70 or upwards, as
already mentioned & exemplified §. |^^^|; besides other instances not as yet ascertainable The word analogous requires
correction. It is evident enough how inconsiderable the
transgression is which consists in the course act of
dispensation or suspension put upon here and there a
law already existing, in comparison of an habitual
and exercise of an illegal power of legislation, in all cases.

2. Transgression 2d in England—
"Committing and prosecuting divers worthy Prelates, for
"humbly petitioning to be excused from concerning to the said
"assumed power (of disp suspending and dispensing with
"laws."

Parallel Analogous transgression in New South Wales—
Confining within this place land/ of illegal bondage, and,
even without prosecution, punishing by arbitrary power, viz:
by with whipping divers persons formerly guilty, but who
who had been restored, in point of law, to the condition of innocent persons,
by the expiration of their terms of legal punishment.
