Observations

V. Penalties &c
§ 9 37
89 continued
[+] The option of
the Transportation
(inflictable of course
no otherwise than
by regular procedure)
is allowed for atrocious
cases: that of a the pecuniary
penalty, with the portion
of imprisonment suceedaneous
to it, for cases when where
transportation would be
excessive, or the trouble
and expence of regular
procedure would
be prove a bar to prosecution.

The at above quoted provisions above quoted for strengthening
the limits of justice are many form part of
a numerous and confused al heap of provisions
of the same tendency established by Statutes upon
Statutes in the case of offences against the Laws
of Excise and Customs, among which are several
more that would require to be applied to the offences
against the present Bill, were it not for the voluminousness
and perplexity that would be the result.
The present is a case in which the demand for
provisions for this tendency seems w to be little if
at all inferior to what is in the case of those
other branches of the Revenue Laws: for if
on the one hand the mass of property to contend with [+] [+] in the hands of
the Master-Malifactors is
not here so great, on the other hand the characters of
the underlings are in this case still more profligate
and desperate that in those: and it part a seems hardly
to be expected, that so considerable a branch of trade as that in question
( I mean the trade in stolen goods) seems hardly to
be likely to should be given up altogether without a struggle. As
to felony under in the existing laws state of the laws
in that behalf it is so variegated and indefinable in composition
and taking procedure into the account, has so many good as well as bad points about
it, when compared with the punishment for a misdemeanour,
that while things it continues upon this
footing, a man who pays due attention to the consequences
of the Acts Bills he draws, must find himself
continually at a loss to know whether to admitt
or to exclude it employ it or put it aside. Our great task for the Board
would might be — to do suggest the means of something towards reducing all this
confusion to order, this absurdity to reason.

§89 [2] [To apprehend ] p.16 If the offence of [+] [+] were to be made felony the
power of apprehending arrest an
