No man, indeed, has been more instru- mental in the ruin of his country, and he may probably have to reap some of the bitter fruits himself ! During this year the affable King made his pompous en- trance into Hanover, where he threw gold and silver amongst the crowd with as much confidence as if it had been his own ! ! If he had allowed some of this said " gold and silver " to have remained in the pockets of its real owners, it would have redounded much more to his credit. In one single week th...is year eleven persons were hung for forging Baak of England notes. Such a sanguinary penal code of laws as ours would really disgrace a nation of savages. Even our common laws, which ought to be intelligible to the meanest understanding, are an unfathomable abyss, and frequently exceed the utmost penetratration of even the "gentlemen of the long robe. " Indeed, our laws appear designed to perplex rather than to elucidate — to breed con- tentions rather than to prevent them. The principal merit of the English jurisprudence seems to consist in its in- tricacy, and the learned professors of it may almost be said to live ujjon the vitals of their clients.
