I doubt not but there is fome legal method of recovering papers, as well as any other goods, which are unlawfully detained from the right owner; but I am fure the remedy mull, from the nature of the thing, be very ineffectual, if it was lefs tedious and troublefome, than I dare fay it is, as well as all other proceedings at law. The mifchief and damages occafioned by the feizure of papers muf'r in every cafe be very great, in many infinite, and irreparable; fuch as no confideration, no refiitution can compen fate, no fatisfaction indemnify.
