S42 [1] [96] Page 80. [Notice of...appeal shall be given at the time,S42 [96] [Unlessunless...grounded on some fa ...fact not brought This exception is but being
to light till afterwards..] This exception is new; but being not only reasonable, but in favour of the accused,
it may probably perhaps<add>notwithstanding</add> be allowed to pass. The case
will not often happen: but were it ever to happen,
it would be a bad thing, if it were necessary that
a defendant should continue to suppose after his
innocence has been brought to light.

The malefactors against whom the ActBill is levelled
bring many of them opulent , will, it is natural
to suppose, be apt to be troublesome with their Appeals:-
but if the power of conviction isbe given to a single
Magistrate, the remedy by Appeal can hardly be
refused: Quere which would be but nor is it
to be supposed that ifwhen the party is really guitly
the conviction will not be assumed: and the costs
allowed will, it is supposed be equal or nearly
equal to the costs actually incurred: if not, regen
provision might hereafter be made, without recourse
to Parliament for reimbursing the difference to the
Informer but (who it is supposed will almost always
be the Real Officer of the Board) out of the share of the Police Fund.

Quere which would be most eligible in point of efficiency?
- a single Magistrate subject to Appeal,
or two or more without appeal? In some places
it might be some time perhaps before two could
be got to meet.
