Introd. Observations

use of the subdivision.

Howsoever it may be to the Reader with regard to
the Reader, the utility convenience of this double division to the
draughtsman is very considerable indeed. The shorter,
and thence the more numerous the separate clauses, the
greater will be this convenience.

In the present Draught,
for instance the total number of Articles clauses called Articles is
about 260, which tied up in 15 Divisions called Sections, including
the General Preamble. If each of these Articles is
upon an average of about 1/4 the length of what at present in other
in general is called a Section, which I suppose may be
about the case, this will make the 260 Sect Articles
equivalent in bulk to about between 60 & 70 of the ordinary
Sections which is about the number of in the existing
Penitentiary Act.

In the progress of the instance of the present draught the
changes which I have seen occasion to make in the made in respect of the number and order of the divisions
number and order of the divisions of the Articles have been so numerous frequent, ǂ that
without the but for this expedient for reducing discriminating reducing
the mechanical part of the labour, I don't know
when it would have been at an end.

When the last hand has been put to the Bill, the double [+]
[+] division will in so
far have done its office,
and may then either

being expunged.
