To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

III. for preventing combinations in the Coal Trade, it is enacted, " That any persons exceeding the number of six, associated toge- ther for purchasing coals for sale, shall be deemed an unlawful combination to increase the price of coals." These are all the acts which specifically re- gulate partnerships; but not one of them will in the present instance apply — they are all penal acts, and must be construed in the strictest letter — they all specifically define their object, and the precise li...ne of demarcation is at once definitively, explicitly, and unequivocally drawn.
With the exception then of Marine Insur- ance, Banking, and the Coal Trade, associa- tions are not declared illegal by any positive act which can be found upon the statute book.
A doctrine of this description is as absurd as 50 it would otherwise be dangcrdus.--rfT5 it for t moment to be contended that those numerous public companies — at once respectable to them- selves and beneficial to others, which originated long previous to the present Joint Stock Com- panies — and which have been suffered to con- tinue so long unmolested — Companies, which in common with the present Joint Stock Com- panies, have no other bond of union than a trust deed ;— are therefore illegal ?
