Indirect Legislation
Frankpledge
2
The utility of this institution is founded upon one
or other of two suppositions: that the persons [thus
made vicariously responsible] thus charged were parties
to the criminal design: or that not being parties
to it, but having it finding it subsequently in their power to ob prevent it
or to stop it or to bring the parties concerned in it apprehend the parties, or to give furnish information
against them to justice, they failed to do so. In the dark ages
of our history, when government was unsettled,
, when a neighbourhood
was a family, & a manor
a kingdom
the power of the moral sanction
weak or ill directed, when the boundaries between
robbery, rebellion and hostility were scarce discernible,
in short when in the days when it was
invented, this expedient [, violent as it is] might
have had its use. The supposition of negligence
complicity, at least either active or passive, was frequently
not improbable.

In different parts of the world [the same
exigencies dictate the same expedients:] the same
diseases the same remedies cure. What Alfred is said
to have established among his Saxons, the Emperor
Akhbar is said to have established among the his inhabitants
of Hindostan: although no etymologist has
[fetched] sent for either of these people nations to generate the fetched other.
