TURNPIKE - TOLLGATHERERS
SECT. VIII
ART. I. A Tollgatherer appointed instead of one discharged, shall at
the end of 2 days after notice given thereof to the other or left at his House have
possession of the Toll-house with the appurtenances, to be given
him (if opposed) by a Constable with necessary assistance upon
Warrant from a Justice: & the persons & goods therein being
shall be removed.
OBSERVATIONS. ART. II A Temporary Tollgatherer shall the & be
to the same duties appointed in the
possession of the Toll-house with the appurtenances shall be given him,
(if opposed) at the end of 4 days after his appointment, in manner as
by the preceeding Article.
ObservationsUpon examining this Section in the original, we
shall find it defective in the following particulars,
sometimes by saying too little, & sometimes by saying
too much.
1st Neither "power" nor "authority" nor "accountable"
import the obligation to inform; which "duties"
manifestly does in Art...of the 1st Section.
2dly Neither "the Wife" nor "Family" of the dead Tollgatherer,
but a stranger may get in and "refuse
to deliver up possession": & then where are the words
of this Section that shall turn him out?
3dly Along with "their" goods, there may be goods in
the house belonging to a stranger: and then what
are the words in this section that shall reserves them?
4thly According to the expression (though certainly
not according to the design) a Tollgatherer discharged
or the Wife and family of one dead are
liable to be turned out at a minute's warning:
for the house is to be evacuated not at the expiration
of the time prescribed, but within it: and the
of that is for any thing that to the contrary
---page break---
X 767 ff 6
"In case Any Collector" ... "shall permitt" ... any Cert....
False Grammar ...to pass .... and being thereof convicted ...such
Collector ... so offending, shall be ... discharged
In case ... any Collector ... shall permitt ...
any Cart ... to pass ......and shall be thereof
convicted ... such Collector ..... so offending,
shall be discharged ..... this is Syntax
Any Collector ... permitting .... any Cart ...
to pass ..... and <hi rend='underline'>being thereof convicted ....</hi>
such Collector ... so offending, shall be ... discharged.
this is also Syntax. I wish I could say
as much of the 1st of these 3 Sentences.
78 ff 6 So offending
2ndly a poor man about his offending after he is supposed to be convicted? A. This is to introduce a figure of speech, called in Greek Hysteria Proteron ; & in English the Cart before the Horse, or the Horse after the Cart. The figure, one sees, is peculiarly analgous to the subject
