Obs Tit . VII B
Art . 4 district Ct of Appeal
These cases will be found to furnish at least
19 out of 20 probably a much larger proportion
of the whole number of criminal prosecutions .
If Appeal were permitted in these cases
it would be preserved in course by every
criminal , how certain sav soever of not being successful ,
merely in order to procure a respite . Hence an
enormous lead of business to the superior Courts
and a cause an unavoidable measure of delay
in cases in which it may be desirable that
punishment should follow close upon conviction.
This more especially it least would be the case in every instance
where the punishment was capital : an appeal
would be sure to be preferred , as a sure means
of obtaining a considerable respite for changing
life fo warding off retarding avertingfor some time for a time — the fatal stroke .
In offences were the punishment is less severe
the facility of appeal isnot production can not be in a
degree any thing equal be productive of this inconvenience .
In the first place prosecutions will as already observed be
comparatively very few in number ; in the
next plan , costs and if necessary an increase
of punishment may be applied as a check to appeals preferred
