HODGE-PODGE AC (bouvier) | HODGE-PODGE ACT. A name given to a legislative act which embraces many
subjects. Such acts, besides being evident proofs of the ignorance of the
makers of them, or of their want of good faith, are calculated to create a
confusion which is highly prejudicial to the interests of justice. Instances
of this wretched legislation are everywhere to be found. See Barring on the
Stat. 449. Vide Title; Legislation.
