subject of vulgar, and as to me appears unmerited
applause.

common law single felony, and the offence is on
account of some circumstance of real or supposed
aggravation

instances been my good fortune to find to be able to discover any substantial
ground for those suppositions) such as the
nature of the building or from whence the thing
was stolen, or the circumstance of its being stolen from
the person &c &c erected into a capital felony.

2. Where an offence being an offence originally
at common Law, has been made prohibited
under a particular penalty by some Statute.

3. When it has been prohibited under different penalties
by different Statutes.

Laws &c option has been to parties in a regular given between the customary regular
mode of prosecution and a summary and mode less burthensome
as well to the Defendant as to the Prosecutor.
