CERTAINTY INFORM. Ex Officio
But the cause of prosecution may as well happen
in Cornwall or Cumberland as elsewhere — In Cornwall or
Cumberland, a Justice of the Peace or other person
may have done that, with which an Attorney-
General may be order'd to be displaced; for
in Cornwall & Cumberland there are Elections.
I would not be mistaken — I apprehend not that the
malice or at least the temerity of any one invested with that
office will be such as to fall without any colourable ground or a victim totally
innocent of that wherewith he is charged: it is where
the guilt is doubtful, or tho', certain real plight: where
the measure of Punishment is [inexplicit], & slides
freely within certain bounds: where the circumstances of
the case are such, whereout a man may find something
pleasurable to oppose to the clamour of those who read their
own fate in the punishment of the sufferer; & something to have
Where the obnoxious
person has just overleaped
the boundaries which separate
legal from illegal
& there is no precise
measure for the latitude
of the transgression - to give the consciences of those who are to keep up a counter-claimer:
he may be whipped openly
with ten stripes for
his stripes : & or
with two hundred believed
the curtail
for his - This is what I am
afraid of - Tis this
which every man is exposed to, who with a zeal for doing
what he imagines right, does not always, carry about him
a distinction which shall compare it within the strict limits fraud
of Law.
