Art. 20 9
Note?
(a) To whole classes presenting classes to favour, on
the score of humanity and commiseration, it might be not
impossible to shew extend favour. To Widows and to orphans
of the female sex— their whole property in
and income not exceeing a certain amount to be
limited, substantiated upon Oath. But the day referred
to, must be a day post at the publication
of the provision first made; and the day
if possible so much as the should have
been made known to any before the publication thus
made of it to all. Otherwise the population favour thus meant
for the object of favour could be
otherwise obtained by fraud.
