may be comprized, mostly if not altogether, under
five heads - viz: Information, Convictions, Recognizances,
Summonses and Warrants. In the
case of Informations i:e: a man d
of an information received from an individual attends asserting alledging the commission
that a certain other individual has committed a certain of some offence - of a Conviction - i:e: a memorandum
or record of the passing of a judgement
declaring a certain personindividual to have committed a [+] on the grounds therein specified
certain offence - of a Recognizance - i:e: a
memorandum made of an engagement entered into by
a certain individual to preserve in do a
do or to abstain from a certain act or to preserve
a certain of end to tell them
informations regard to Informations, Convictions, and Recognizances,
there is but one public person in whose hands
at any time the instrument is necessarily to be found- viz: the
Magistrate who frames it. But in the case of a Magistrate by whom the memorandum or statement of the
transactions, or chain of transactions, in question, is framed.
In the case of aSummons or a Warrant - both of these instruments
expressive of an act of the will - a command
addressed by one person to anoth one or more other
persons, there are two p at the least, and in some
two public persons, and in some instances three ,
in whose hands at one time or other the same
instrument must have been deposedlodged: the
Magistrate by whom the command has been issued,
and one or more subordinates, to whom it has been
addressed:- in the case of a summons, the Magistrate who
addressed issues it, and the Constable who conveys it: in
the case of most Warrants, the Magistrate who issues them,
and the Constable by whom they are to be executed: in the case
of a Warrant of discharge directedaddressed to a Jailor, the Magistrate
and the Jailor: in the case of a Warrant of commitment, the [+]
[+] Magistrate, the Constable and the Jailor. The greater the number of a hands public persons thus concerned in the same transaction, so much the better for the present purpose: so many sets of Officers thus connected, so many checks, each to the other, with regard to the punctuality of the expected Returns, and so many securities against neglect in the part of any of them.
