rules, they will not simply not they might as well not
be true, for any use that can be made of them. The
question will b In every each instance the question will be
whether they have any application to that instance
whether they have been appl adhered to or departed
from: and such is the generality in each instance is the latitude of the rule, that of
any departure from it no proof can ever be made
The supposition is a natural one, but upon examination,
it will not, in any instance be found to be
verified.
Correspondent to these rules will be the modes of
transgression which the nature of the case admitts of:
modes of transgression, constituting in every instance
imperfection, coupled or not coupled with that
pr sort of private and sinister advantage which is
understood to give to imperfection the character of abuse.
1. Misapplication of money, pu in the occasion of
the sort of public service proposed, intended in professed
reality or in profession, to be promoted: misapplication
materially of money, to wit of public money, and in some instances not only of public
money, but even in
some instances, even
of private money,
dra extracted in
the occasion in question
out of the pocket
of unwilling individual
2. Scantiness of the application which in the occasion
in question is made of money or moneys worth in the character of
the matter of reward - This imperfection will be found to
have place, in so far as any instance occasion presents itself
in which any useful service of the same nature can be being
pointed out to the production of which the matter of reward
might be applied with propriety , but yet is not applied.
