TRUSTEES
The laudable & customary caution // D 36
Person or Persons The provident cautious precaution provision <add>foresight </add> which having provided <add> apr</add> declared
that "no" one "person" who should keep a Public
House should sit as a Trustee, was not content
without dealingtaking <add>providing least </add> that by two or more "persons"
of that trade of that employment taking advantage of their numbers to into <add>less than unity </add>
should creep into this office, seems here to be a
little overseen: for with submission to the learned the danger is very little less
of the a person's getting into to be a several Trustees, after
being prevented from getting in to be one seems to be very little less than
it was that , of several persons getting to be one
while each of them was remains included.

trustee after every one of them has been excluded
from doing.

False GrammarBesides that this the Phrase " Persons" shall not be capable of
farming Turnpike Toll during such Time as
while he shall keep a Public House, contains an seems an
example of that sort of Grammatical concord, which had better that it were
to be alter'd better to alter in condescension to the vulgar & illiterate
who are not sufficiently familiarized to the
sublimities of the Legislative stile.

A Doubt also may arise whether under the word "her" v. D15 in VIII f 6 a person
of the female Sex be excluded included and this might be
a subject for many learned arguments: Those on the negative side would insist worth a high hand on the presumption which the one that is liken <note><add>as in ff 42,43,45 {which list it is applied to Toll-gatherer] [not in 46] 49, 50 [not 53] [not 55] 56, 57, 60 of to specifying this but also where it is meant to be included could affords, that it was set as meant
to be so here: those on the negative<add>affirmative would stand upon the party of reason: which party their more gallant antagonists upon the ground of the differences of character attending the
difference of sex gender might dispute
It ought to be observed This doubt <add> however that the doubt arises</add> arises not from the specification
of Sex being included omitted here, that the doubt arises but from its being inserted elsewhere.</note>it would
doubtless be a pleasure to hear these arguments:
but as the pleasure of knowing what about is
still greater, it is submitted whether this law
may not be alter'd with to advantage.
