I must take it as his view at least. but without it. what right is there when there may be an inquisition taking proof in Europe and taking proof here to find whether the corpus dclicti has occurred. and then when it has occurred this master who takes on board twelve hundred passengers to bring them across is to be held guilty unless he can prove what? Innocence. He may not know one man from another. Why should he? How can he? Hehas other things to do. Therefore I say at least this protection must be given. that if these very stringent penalties which affect a ship. denying a clearance and everything of that kind. are to be supplemented by a provision that if there is on board a proscribed immigrant on this kind of proscription that I speak of. therefore the master must purge himself.
