Observations
TRUSTEES

The laudable & customary caution // D 36
Person or Persons The provident cautious precaution provision <add>foresight </add> which having provided apr <add>declared </add>
that "no" one "person" who should keep a Public
House should as a Trustee, was not content
without dealingtaking <add>providing least </add> that two or more "persons"
of that made 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 geting into to be 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.

False Grammar

Besides that this the Phrase "Persons" shall not be capable of
farming Turnpike Toll during such Time as
while he shall a keeps 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 taken <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 speechifying this also where it is meant to be included could affords, that it was at as meant
to be so it would
here: those on the negativeaffirmative would stand upon the party of reason: which party more gallant antagonists upon who hashad the honour of a degree at Oxford. </add> </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.

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 bing inserted elsewhere.

Observations

An Adjournment made to any Hour of a Day on which
the meeting was not "appointed to be held " must have
attended with an extraordinary consequence effect: it was high time
to guard against it.

such Time as he shall keep such Victualling=house,
house, or other house of Public Entertainment, or
sell any Wine, Beer,Cyder, Ale, Spiritous or
otherStrong Liquors by Retail.

An Apothacary is not very likley to be a candidate for such an office; if he were, the word rink" intimating something that is
used for Act, would be less liable to move doubts than
a "Strong
liquor" many sorts of which are used in particular.
