Recognizance.
and this mode by the Statute in question is changed into
one more frugal and expeditious, and the scene transfered from
Westminster to the Country. This was some thing: but as
grievances in Law are seldom remedied but by halves, there

the delinquent, if by the delinquent, bring on him
a punishment of which he knew nothing still greater
than that of which he had been warned. It is known,
for examples abound every where, that penalties
to much larger amount are appointed to be levied
in a summary and frugal manner by the Constable. But the penalty was to accrue
