Mora's Imprisonment

2. Functionaries
As little on the same occasion can I find any very or even determinate ground for condone censure
on the part of the constituted authorities acting under the
and by virtue of the law. An armed force indeed and that in
military or as employed for the purpose it should seem of
preventing the meeting. Of preventing it but by what means?
Judging of the intention by the act by such means as should be
attended wit productive either of no physical harm at all, or if of any
in any quantity in the least smallest possible. Compleatly without claim of unattended by any
such physical harm the object is accordingly effected the meeting
prevented.
Now then had it been more to choose which under
these circumstances supposing the law to admitt of it, what in
the place of the public functionary — the political chief — would
I have done? Would I have forborne employing a military
body? Not I indeed. But what I would not
have done is the stationing it at the intended place of meeting and thus the employing it in preventing the meeting: what
I would have done is the upon the supposition of danger of
physical harm or annoyance to
any of the constituted authorities — say to the King — say to
any member of the say to any of one of the sworn
Ministers say to the Political Chief of the Metropolis — I
would habe stationed a guard at their respective abodes,
with another indeed at the place of meeting: but this for the mere
purpose of giving notice of the supposed apprehended attempt
in the case the event of any symptoms of on the appearance of any
symptoms of its being intended.
