Pollee; .
"'Considering that there is a certain number of our
smTettis 'detained in the state prisons, whom it is not
convenient to bring for trial before the courts of jus-
tice, nor to set at liberty ;
" That several of them have, at different epochs,
!nide an attempt upon the safety of the Slate ; that
they would be condemned by the Courts to capital
punishments, but that superior considerations oppose'
themselves to their being brought to trial ;
" That others, after having figured as Chiefs of
bands in the civil wars, have taken agaht to flagrant
criines; and that motives of general interest, in like
manner, prevent them from being brought to trial ;
" That several of them are either robbers of Dili-
:mu, or men habituated to crime, whom our Courts
are not able to condemn, although they should have
a certainty of their guilt, and in whom cases they
know, that their enlargement would be contrary to
the interest and the safety of society ;
" That a certain lumber of them having been em-
ployed by the police, in foreign countries, and having
Jailed in fidelity, can neither be brought to trial, nor
set 'at liberty, without compromising the safety of
the state •
••' Finally, that some of them, belonging to the
different united countries, are dangerous men, who
can neither. be put on their trial, because their crimes
are either of a political nature, or anterior to the
union, and' that they could not be set at liberty with-
out
compromising the interests of the State :
" Considering, hoWever, that our justice requires
to afsure ourvelyes tllat those of our subjects who are
detained in'the state prisons, are those for lairful
causes with a view to the public interest, and not
from private considerations and passions ;
" That it it fit to establish, for the efloioation of
every case, legal and solemn fornis;
" And that, in forniing the procees of this, inquiry,
gluing. the first decisions in a Privy Conned, and
reviewing, a-new, every year, the causes of the-detenf
tips, to ascertain whether it should be piolonged, we
should provide for the safetrof the State, an that of
