[50]
“LawIf any person
make petition to the Council or to the Assembly in respect of any sentence
of a Court of Justice or of the Council or of the Assembly, if the person
who has been fined himself make petition before he has paid the fine, an
information shall lie against him in the same manner as when a person sits
on a jury being indebted to the treasury; and if another person make
petition on behalf of the person fined, his whole property shall be
confiscated; and if any Commissioner shall allow the question to be put for
anyone, whether for the person fined or for another on his behalf, he shall
be disfranchised.”
