C
Of Semi-public Offences in General.
1 Particular Arrangement to be given to the matter of such Laws. This method of arrangement will more particularly respect
the conveniency of the statesman. For individuals at large
that other plan of arrangement will be more commodious which
marks out the divisions of the subject-matter according to the
different classes of persons concerned in it, as determined by
their connection with the different sorts of things, (meaning real entities,) that
are made the objects of regulation. This division of mankind
being beyond comparison the more numerous, the method of
arrangement which is best suited to their accomodation must
be adopted at any rate. The throwing the same materials into
another form best adapted to the purposes of the statesman is a
matter not of strict necessity indeed, but however of great convenience.
It is not necessary however that the work should be
executed by the hand of the Legislator: an uncommissioned unauthorised individual
might answer the intention effect the purpose were the text of the Law fixed by an
authorative digest made upon the other plan. To the statesman
it would be enough to find the purport of the Law methodized
according to his views, so he had but the tenor of it to refer to
in case of doubt. To p. 20. at top -
2 Offences against a factitious Class can have no relation to the person. We now come to the division which comprehends Offences against
an ideal or factitious set of persons; or in short against any
number of persons who are brought into the same predicament by any
other circumstance than that of vicinity. Offences of this division in stead
