TRUSTEES
§ 36
The laudable & customary caution // Person or Persons
The provident cautious precaution provision <add>foresight </add> which having provided apr <add>declared</add>
that "no" one "person" who should keep a Public
House should act as a Trustee, was not content
without declaringtaking <add>providing least </add> that by two or more "persons"
of that trade of that employment taking advantage of their numbers to work into nought out <add>less than unity </add>
should creep into this office, seems here to be a
little overseen: for with submission to the learned the danger is very little less
of the a person's getting into to be a several Trustees, after
being prevented from getting in to be one seems to be very little less than
it was that, of several persons getting to be one
while each of them was remains included.

trustee after every one of them has been excluded
from doing.
False Grammar Besides that this the Phrase " Persons" shall not be capable of
farming Turnpike Toll during such Time as
while he shall keep a Public House, contains an seems an
example of that sort of Grammatical concord, which had better that it were
to be alter'd better to alter in condescension to the vulgar & illiterate
who are not sufficiently familiarized to the
sublimities of the Legislative stile.
A Doubt also may arise whether under the word "her"+ +v. §15 in VIII f 6 a person
of the female Sex be excluded included and this might be
a subject for many learned arguments:[+]
[+] Those on the negative side would insist worth a high hand on the presumption which the one that is taken # <note># as in § 42,43,45 {which list it is applied to Toll-gatherer] [not in 46] 49, 50 [not 53] [not 55] 56, 57, 60
of to specifying this but also where it is meant to be included could affords, that it was set as meant
to be so here: those on the negative<add>affirmative would stand upon the party of reason: which party their more gallant antagonists upon the ground of the differences of character attending the
difference of sex gender might dispute
It ought to be observed This doubt <add> however that the doubt arises</add> arises not from the specification
of Sex being included omitted here, that the doubt arises but from its being inserted elsewhere.</note>
it would
doubtless be a pleasure to hear these arguments:
but as the pleasure of knowing what about is
still greater, it is submitted whether this law
may not be alter'd with to advantage.
