VOLUMINOUSNESS

Repeal by Implication Regulation after Prohibition
I will give an instance where there can hardly
be difference of opinion - nor therefore a debate.
Several Stat Statutes of modern date regulate
that operation whether of upon a certain commodity
whether of fabrication importation exportation
sale, purchase, or consumption which is absolutely
prohibited by some ancient Law:
It is therefore but a matter of course that
such ancient Law will therefore shall be
repealed.

I will mention another point which being once
settled, the propriety of making certain and car every title observations alterations
conformable to such settlement will
not admitt of difference of opinion.

It might I should think be received as an
Axiom. That no Premium need be given to
the Informer which it can never be worth his
while to sue for.

Informer's profit not equal to the expence. If so, & if it be true that no Plaintiff
can possibly carry a case through in the

Rule never to establish a pecuniary penalty to the earning

allowing Costs. It should even seem proper,
so Pecoter in Burn. 2d regularly ..H.T.C. not to affix a penalty so recoverable which
shall not be adequ superior to the Costs even
at their medium

But better to give Costs allways To give the turn of the in favour of the inforcer & not the violator of the Law
If then this Rule should be established, adopted the missing

it is to be sued for in a superior Court and

Scheme of REDUCTION

It may be a general resolution, to insert the
essential pieces of course - or rather may they
be included put together in a standing system, which who
shall serve for every Article Law without express
enactment just as the standing course of
proceedings in the Courts of Westminster in
Action of Debt for instance example serves for ea every
instancewherein Action of Debt is given
without being established over & over again in each s

Varities of Essential pieces adap ted
to the partiuclar exigencies of any Title may be eng
proposed, but not contended stickled for.

This will cut off a capital objection to a reform - the variance of opinions, and the
consequent prolixity of the proceedings in
the Legislative bidy. This is the gorund on which
those who think themselves interested against a reform to oppose
reformation will make their principal stand.

A general matter once agreed upon, for
the Digest of evryCode will supercede
and cut offall debates concerning each one
in aprtiucalr - This general method being
given in instruction to theCommittee, the
confirmation of their proceedings, i conducted
in observance to it, will bea matter almost
of course.

Only if any provision should recur of
which the inexpedience or inability should </lb> appear too manifest at most to bear a debate
it may be proposed for repeals,
making it at the same time a rule, not to
make a point to support the proposal
against any determined opposition, but to </lb> put the question speedily.

The project of reformation therefore should not at first embrace the fundamental idea
dismiss to a less Jurisdiction of a set of Laws: (except as above mentioned
in a few obvious and incontrov such cases as appear most <add> to clear to be obvious to debate)
but the apparatus of [Laws creating] Offences
of an ] accessory [nature], & Laws Adjective.
Not the general Bolvey - but the particualr
expedients adopted to giveit effect. it
Emendation Amendment in the fundamental + A reform Formal Report on each Law to be printed with reasons for Alteration of repeal subjoined to each clause parts should
rather be the fruit than the accompaniment of
consolidation.
