But, professing as you appear to do, to be desirous
of rend rendering service on this same occasion and in this same way
service to this part of your fellow subjects teh defenders of their the country why do not
you yourself set to work and make an abstract as it is called,
– digest of the matter of these two Statutes, placing it in that order
which to yourself has presented itself as being appears to be so much more
commodious than that in which it stands at present?
From To this question I give have three answers.
That so far as any use can be derived from
the mere business a mere change in the order of the Sections any
what requires to be done is no more than what any
man who will be at the expence of two copies of
each Act with a pr few sheets of paper to pin or
paste them upon may execute for himself: and
for such an operation the requisite instructions have
already been exhibited afforded, to wit by an indication of the
several groupes of sections belonging to each of the respective to the several respective
groups of sections above marked out.
2. That, so sure as I took upon me to omitt make
any considerable change in omission in or change any of the wording words of the text, so sure I
should run the risk of leading the reader into an
error. For as Statutes are penned under the existing
system, no Statute of any considerable length ever makes
its appearance without flaws and imperfections. In
the Statute in question suppose half a dozen of those
flaws. If in the abstract any one of those flaws a proper expression such
as the nature of the case requires were substituted to the present
part, in so far the law would be misrepresented, the
justice given of the
law would fail of being
correct, and in so far
as it were regarded as
correct and acted upon in consequence accordingly error. practical error, bringing with it in the shape of pecuniary loss or some other shape, mischief
to the amount of which no limits can be assigned would seriously be the consequence.
