Tit. VII . B Obs
District Court of Appeal Observ. in Art . 6
Where no decision has been given , thee is nothing
to appeal from . But in a criminal matter by the mere forbearance
of giving a decision all the mischief may be done
of the most unjust decision . A criminal may
be screened from the punishment which is his due :
or an innocent person virtually condemned to
perpetual imprisonment . Petitions for expedition
must therefore be equally allowed , where there
is an appeal allowed, and where there is none . Neither
can complaints for be misbehaviour be suppressed
because the succession of appeals is made
to stop ; for though the repeated reconsideration
of the same affair must be put an end to
somewhere : but if complaints for misbehaviour
were any-where forbidden [+] [+] in instances where there was no appeal. [+]b accusations of that sort would be disallowed 'so much as a beginning the Court thus complained
forbidden to be complained of would
have the power of doing as it pleased .
