1826. May 6
Penal CodeCh. XIII. Off. affg exercise of Sov.
§. 1. Rebellion offensive

Any want of regard for this distinction appears
to have been produced a decision, which in the
history of English judicial practice makes a
conspicuous figure. A band of fanaticks had
got together and destroyed divers houses bestowing
upon them the denomination of bawdy
houses and professing an intention to effect the
same design, at the expense of whatsoever other houses,
it should please them to characterize by the same
denomination. As to depriving the constituted authorities
of their power in other particulars, no
such design was professed, nor is alledged to have
been entertain. Thus? This notwithstanding such was
the propensity to strained construction and
the extension of the power of the King; or the
judges were at that time, the at-any-time
removeable instruments of the King, they added this
to the number of the judge-made appendices of the
statute law against treason, thus putting the offence
upon a level with the endeavour to depose
the King or deprive him of life
