LARCENY. Deer 4
of the shortest in the Book of any since the Reformation nor does it will it be found to contain above 5 or 6 times as many words as
[are necessary] the Law should unawares be rendered simple & intelligible, it takes special propitious care
in a clause on purpose, that it shall not be deemed to have cut off an atom
of all that there is before it.
While This if it had stood single
[might have rendered] the
Law might have been [in the print liberally]
simple. It ought to have had
[stood a chance for being] known
and understood: to present This
would have been out of rule:
accordingly a special clause
is anxiously put in to keep
every little of what had gone
before alive.
This Statute, pressing this with very upon the of another composed by the Legislature under very different
Ideas, seems rather extorted from their impatience, than directed by their judgement
nor is their anxiety to keep all former provisions on foot to be well accounted for
from on any other supposition design than this, that under any mordenter tolerable take of the distinguished
men should rather have recourse to some of the (and as it seems to have appeared
to them) more commensurate remedies.
