§. 95
If moreover for the more security
the identify of the appli effectually securing the
trust fund from imposition depredation being preyed upon by
fake spurious applicants and thence for the more effectually ascertaining
in each case the identity of the applicant
with the person correspondent claimant whose name stands upon
the list any paper expression signed by an one or more officers
of the ship in question, and expressive of a certificate
of identify in favour of the person to whom it were is delivered
were thought necessary to be required, in the instances the official
person in question would naturally be more likely thence
a person taken at large be able qualified by experience for forming a judgment
in concerning the subject of the genuineness of the signatures.
In the case of a person altogether unconversant with business
of this sort, such for example in the Minister
of a Parish an inland Parish in England or Scotland, or the Churchwarden
of a the like Parish in England – in the case of such a person
pitched upon for a single occasion and that only
were his judgment accepted instead of that of the sort of official
person just spoken of, the benefit of security derived from
such apposite experience would it is evident be to
be waived.
Not only would the judgment of any such
person taken as it were at large be much more likely
to be misled, but in the case of a certificate purporting
to be signed by any such chance person or
persons, the forgery of forgery will be
much less exposed to detection. the chance being so small For in this case the forgerer
to be worth regarding that the hand of has the choice of the person individual whose pretence say for a
though not of the species of the individual whose pretended signature
he exhibits – say as before the Minister, and with or without the Churchwarden:
and in the which case the chance is next to nothing
that the real signature
handwriting of the person
whose signature is
forged should be known
to any official person
on whom the payment depends.
