Observations on Rule 1.

Of To the propriety of this rule an objection a doubt can scarcely
be entertained.

A penny roll is to be bought. To whom ought
the penny to be paid? To the Baker, by whom the roll
is supplied? or to any stranger that happens to
be going by the shop? – These are questions that
answer themselves.

Furnishing a penny roll to one who wants it
is one kind of service – doing an some act in the
execution of the business belonging to an a public office
is a very different kind of service. But they agree
in this, viz. in that they are services. For in the
case of the office if no party can be found to whom
by the execution of the business of it service is rendered
that office is a nuisance – and what emolument
so ever is received by means if so much obtained it is received in
the way of extortion or on false pretences some false pretence.
