NOTORIETY. N. YEAR BOOKS Want of.
(1 In the case entitled the King against Wheatly + +Hib 1760 - 2d Burrow 1125
N.Y.B. Mischiefs from the want of. Example.
The Deft: being a Brewer had been Indicted
for a Cheat in selling a less quantity of the
commodity in which he dealt "as & for" a greater.
The man being convicted, & the prosecution
run on to the last stage a motion is made
in to Arrest of Judgment & no fewer than 4
cases precisely in point came out, where it
had been decided that for that the species of delinquency
in question no Indictment was to be maintained.
Now it is certain as far as any thing with
Law is certain, that if all, or one may venture
to say, any of these cases had been deposited
in a publication wherever those whom it concerned
might know where to meet with them;
the vexation of this Suit would not have

those other Suits if the event of those preceding them

(1 had been promulgated in like manner.
Thus had 4 had 4 sets of Prosecutors one after another
(that are known of) been harrassing themselves
& so many Defendants about the gaining of this
one point, after which the Law without their knowledge
had pronounced it to be unattainable.
Thus it is in short that the property, the
liberty, the personal security & even the life of
the subject is suffer'd committed on so many occasions
to this hour to be the sport of fortune: for I know
not what else it is, if it be not Fortune, that is to determine,
whether there be an Advocate who is
in possession of such a case, or who has a friend
or a friend's friend who is, & whether the Advocate
in question or the friend or the friend's
friend suspects he has it recollects his having it, & whether that one
of them who suspects he has it, succeeds in
finding it, & whether in short such Advocate
from admidst the variety of competitors, happens
to be employ'd. pickt out.
The world is left in a flame, that Lawyers may
roast their Eggs.
