[24][25][26] Employd
[25] [Daily Interest .. .. Table]
For the grounds and reasons of the insertion of this
Table see above Note [ ] in the Plan itself as delineated
in Ch. [2]
[26][27][28][No interest on the last day etc] The
striking off the odd farthing for the last day in
every year and further interculary day in
the Leap Year can be no object to a purchaser,
and save a deal of fractional work and complication.
The other provision is a preservation
against perplexity, disputes and litigation.
The subject matter is but a farthing: but
a law suit about a farthing costs as much
as a law suit of the same kind about
a hundred pound. No point, capable of giving
birth to subsequent litigation, is too trifling for
previous explanation. It is a sad case when
the legislator, for want of having comprehended
his own meaning, leaves it to be groped
for by the Judge.
Possibly, in a case where the information
requires to be brought down to a level with the
most uninformed minds meanest capacities, the addition of the
information contained in the following words
might be of use.
