innocent but rendered criminal

only by

License

it's terms. The

mistake which appeared

to have been committed in the framing of this Ordinance was

the Confounding of two offences in themselves radically distinct, namely Kidnapping of individuals for the purpose of emigration

on the

doing

of certain innocent Acts without the License of the Governor on the

other.

I was of opinion that the Ships liable

inasmuch as

to forfeiture under this Ordinance would in all probability be foreign Ships, it was not within the province of a Colonial Legislature

to so interfere

as to render difficult

the solution of those international questions which would in all probability arise & most important distinction is in judgment to be drawn between a Statute passed by the Imperial Parliament and a local Legislature.
