Securities thus rotten are worse than empty
useless. Inefficient with the appearance of efficiency
- they prevent a man from looking out
for efficient ones.

The mode of procedure in cases of recognizance
- the Estreat, follow <add>followed by the Scire facias - would of itself be sufficient to empty
the security of the greatest part of its all the efficiency, expediency if
not the whole. The factitious delays, which have
taken such general root in the regular branch
of procedure have been improved upon in the
case of recognizances: and in the present case, instance,
if the prosecutor, instead of the King to whom the penalty
is given, the prosecutor were to receive to his own use the amount of the penalty it
he when thus levied, he would in case of success find himself out of pocket, to perhaps
ten times the amount of it. out of pocket in case of
success As to the Defendants - the Principal and the
Surety or Sureties, it would be money to them if in case
of forfeiture of the Recognizance, for any offense <add>act of they could any act of delinquency,
they could
be made to pay the
penalty of the Recognizance
(supposing
then it to be paid)
in the same summary
and comparatively inexpensive mode as that
specially appropriate for the offense
in which
the Principal is
made to pay the
particular penalty
approprated and
adapted to the particular
offense.

Securities thus rotten, are worse than useless:
- Inefficient with the semb a face of efficiency,
they obstruct the look-out for efficient ones.

The personal examination havin resorted to relied on
resorted to <add>substituted by the Bill, and substituted to those mock securities professes little but provides for every
thing. Were even a certificate to be employ'd, it would be
good - not to say indispensable - for the purpose of
giving responsibility, that is and thence veracity, to the certificate:
But without it, it is still better: for, while besides
it increasing the chances in favour of veracity, it
saves the extortion above spoken of, saves paper, and saves journies and
saves time on the part of Justices.
