The man being
convicted & the prosecution
having run
on to the last stage,
it out/del> no fewer than 4 cases on
motive in point of
Judgement that
there had been
precisely in point
come out on Motive
in Arrest of Judgement
Wherein it
had been decided
that for that species
of delinquency no
Indictment was to
be maintained.
In the case entitled the King against Wheatly
HR 1. G.3 1760 the Def:t being in > Indicted for selling a Chart inin
16 Gallons of Beer for 18. a less quantity of the Commodity<add> and which he
dealt as if for a greater: After the Man
had been convicted of the prosecution was now
on to the last stage, it comes not on <add>Motion
on Arrest of Judgement, that there could be no
pretence for supporting an Indictment for
such an offence, for that the offence it had been adjudged not
indictable by 3 cases precisely in point and
6 years before, another 9, & the 3d at a
time which the Reporter has not mentioned:
One of them The 2d was so exactly precisely/literally in print that the
Commodity, & if I understand the Report aright,
even the very quantities due & deficient were
the same.
Nothing can be more certain, than that if any all
or one venture to say, any of these cases had been deposited in a publication
<pb>
wherein those whom it concerned might know
where to meet with them, the vexation of this
Suit would not have happen'd: the same is to be & this is equally
observed also of every one of these cases <add>also after the 1st.
Thus it is that the property's. The
Thus it is that the property, the liberty,
the personal Security. & never the life of the subject
on so many occasion to this hour is suffer'd to be the sport of Fortune, for
I know not what else it is, if not Fortune, that
is to determine whether there be an Advocate who
is in possession of such a case, or who has a
friend or a paid friend who is, and whether the Advocate
in question or the friend or the friend's<lb?>friend suspects that he has it, & whether any that
one of them who suspects he has it, succeeds in finding
it. & whether in short such Advocate at amongst the
variety of others, competitors happens to be employ'd.
Thus had 4 sets of Plffs Prosecutors one after another that
are known of been harassing themselves & so
many Defendants [in order] to gain a point, any of this one when
afterthe Law without their knowledge had whisper'd to itbe unattainable.
no more than it would
if any of these Suits
if the want of the proceeding
<had been promulgated
in like manner.
It is thus the subject
is plundered &
harrassed, kept in torture while
prevented are locked
up in the closet,
which are never
to be brought forth
till the discourse
has run on to the
last stage.
nothing pertinent
in this case
as being ye
