N.Y.B. Mischiefs from the want of. Example.
The Deft: being a Brewer had been Indicted
for a Cheat in selling a less quantity of the
commodity in which he dealt "as & for" a greater.

The man being convicted, & the prosecution
run on to the last stage a motion is made
in to Arrest of Judgment & no fewer than 4
cases precisely in point came out, where it
had been decided that for that the species of delinquency
in question no Indictment was to be maintained.

Now it is certain as far as any thing with
Law is certain, that if all, or one may venture
to say, any of these cases had been deposited

Thus had 4 had 4 sets of Prosecutors one after another
(that are known of) been harrassing themselves

had pronounced it to be unattainable.

Thus it is in short that the property, the
liberty, the personal security & even the life of
the subject is suffer'd committed on so many occasions
to this hour to be the sport of fortune: for I know

whether there be an Advocate who is
in possession of such a case, or who has a friend
or a friend's friend who is, & whether the Advocate
in question or the friend or the friend's
friend suspects he has it recollects his having it, & whether that one
of them who suspects he has it, succeeds in
finding it, & whether in short such Advocate
from admidst the variety of competitors, happens

(2) The only thing argument that affords the shadow of
an excuse for this excuse, is founded on
the supposition of that being done, which
is not only extremely difficult, but physically
impossible — It may be said, (for
I have heard it said) that the industry of
each particular person may stand in stead

regilentibus non dermientibus subvenient leges true - if in the 1st place, men could take
notes before they were born in Westminster Hall, while at the University,
while at School, & before they
were born If a man could learn the art at either of the aforesaid Universities so to exalt his powers by Truth as to establish a in Unity in his own person. 2dly If the same man could
be at in the 3 courts at once — 3dly If
ten men could dispose themselves in
the space that will receive but one — It is
known that no one court in Westminster Hall
will hold the 10th part of those who under the
confined character description of advisers only have occasion to

a less degree of study than is
necessary to qualify a man for an the
