have been acquitted, are as if to excite make them amends
for the unmerited sufferings they have undergone, loaded with
a heavy fine professedly on the very ground of their having
been acquitted. In some Gaols of persons acquitted of Murder
are a a sum of money is exacted under the name
of an acquittal far greater than equal to what it costs an ordinary
working man may be to maintain himself
for a quarter of a year: a sum greater than such as may not one man

our Law in which public charges instead of being levied
upon affluence are laid upon distress. The taxes upon Law
Proceedings, levied as they are upon both parties, before it
is known which is the oppressed and which is the oppressor
falls under the same censure.
