remand_v to_o wiltshire-gaol_n but_o that_o night_n lie_v in_o town_n i_o read_v the_o statute_n and_o advise_v with_o some_o of_o my_o friend_n who_o find_v that_o the_o good_a behaviour_n can_v

thus_o suffer_v in_o the_o defect_n of_o this_o act_n i_o can_v but_o here_o take_v notice_n of_o one_o great_a omission_n in_o this_o statute_n this_o act_n inflict_v a_o penalty_n of_o one_o

bring_v for_o no_o penalty_n in_o this_o case_n be_v enact_v it_o be_v very_o strange_a that_o the_o statute_n shall_v lay_v so_o great_a penalty_n upon_o the_o denial_n of_o the_o mean_n of_o bail_n viz._n the_o copy_n of_o the_o warrant_n and_o habeas_fw-la corpus_fw-la and_o yet_o not_o enact_v a_o express_a penalty_n for_o refusal_n of_o the_o end_n viz._n bail_v the_o prisoner_n for_o what_o

be_v swear_v to_o go_v according_a to_o evidence_n as_o well_o in_o the_o damage_n as_o in_o the_o matter_n direct_o in_o issue_n must_v go_v according_a to_o proof_n unless_o they_o think_v the_o

be_v swear_v to_o be_v sustain_v few_o word_n more_o in_o the_o statute_n will_v i_o humble_o conceive_v have_v sufficient_o provide_v in_o this_o case_n for_o in_o the_o statute_n wherein_o it_o be_v
