4 C

Of favouring Desertion.

Parish to be responsible If a deserter has abided for the space of four 28
month weeks days either without interruption consecutively or within
the space of 6 months half a year in any Parish without having been apprehended
the inhabitants of such Parish whether they know of his being a Deserter or no shall forfeit amongst
them a sum equal to the value of his service. + + Alter'd from Loix de Sardaigne L. 4. Ch. 33. Art. 6.

It is not without regret that I suggest any
thing in a the view of the tendency of which is to strengthen strengthen the bonds by which
those unhappy persons victims and instruments of the
despotism which desolates the greatest part of Europe
are bound to their irksome but necessary profession.
But since in every state the number which it can
afford or which it is thought it can afford will be had
at any rate, and since the escape of any one deserter
will serve only to produce more enlistments and more escapes more hardships
and more punishments or endeavours to escape, it is as well that the bitter
lot should rest upon on those upon whom it falls
first.
