CERTAINTY Procedure regular. - Non-appearance — Contumacy — Traverse — Confession.

A man against whom a charge is made , must either
answers to it or does not — If he answers to it,
by , if that which he says has any his answer to be pertinent , must amount either
to a confession or a denial

If he does not , it must be either because being
absent, he cannot, or being present, he will not.
In the prescription of Procedure convictions upon Statutes
slightly penal , no difficulty has ever been made
of considering either of these methods of behaviour
as tantamount to a confessions of
the suspected offences charged —

Only out of by Common Law kindness to the offender , for non-appearance ,

a Punishment which was at least equal where to, & in all
most cases , superior to that which he could incur
by conviction , & was the same for one original
offence as for another, — for continuancy

---page break---
to a Punishment , a thousand times worse
than the heaviest he could suffer by conviction.
