And to this eflect they examiged several Wilucenes The question for determination now is, whether the prisoner is giity of a breach of the poace, or only answer apie for the penulty inflicted by the act of 22¢ of April, 114, for performing woridly employment cn the Lord's Dsy , comimoniy caved Sunday ”’ If the latter, he must be dwebarged, but if guilty of the former he must ve held to woswer iv the Quarter Sessions at ite next term.

This etatuie was not the firstin Pepveyiwanva on the subject of Sunday. The ststuces of 1705 and 1786 hud existed prior thereto, but were ia most Particulars supplied by the act of 1794. The provisions Of uli ot them seem to Have had in view the same object the pronipition ot doing or performing worldly business Ou she Savbath Gay, aud establishiog und mainsaisiog it by posiuve civil conotmest v6 a cay of rest wed repose. The penalty imposed by the aot of 1704 for a breach of ite provisions ts the sum of four dollars for caca ana every oltence, aud in default of payment, imprisonment for Bix Gays. ‘If {were determining the ability of this defend. ani, uncer the evicence, to the penalty of the uct, [ could bot heevate a moment to ay be had incurred it, ont fam not, A éifferent question arising out of this act is tae ob- ject of thia inqairy;and that is, whether the defoauant, doibg &N act probioited by Inw, did it in a manner to Gisturb the public peace. ‘The existence of the penaley in ibe act, us a consequence of worldly employment on the Sabbath, is to be taken prohibition of the act, 6 Walls, 253, Carthew, p. 262 It has been deoided that 620 penal: ty covers the coulinved iafractions of a whole cay.

But when the work done ig witbout noise or disorder there i nothing in it hike actoal Dreach of the peace” Simiter langurge was beld by Justice Yates in tho same cuse. The converse of the proposition is clearly deducible from the statement of it tn the terins uned. In Dupoy ys. Commonwealth, Br, Ref. 44, Kennedy J. sitting at Nisi Prius, said that “doing unneceseary work, £0 a8 10 distur the worship of others, is indicta. bie.” If arrested and held to answer for this, the prison- er would be held to good bebavior in ‘ne meantime, So in Teamen vs. Commonwealth, 1 Phil.
