Caution against imposture Let the Judge take heed that he be not imposed
upon by false pretences of necessity. Such a
necessity can seldom happen where there is a public
establishment for the poor.
Measure of abatement As the necessity may be more or less
urgent, on that account it is made a ground of
excuse extenuation only and not of justification.
