21 That, knowing that on each occasion
for making good a mere right or title to the services of a Judge
when demand is made of them as such it is at the same necessary and sufficient to
render it manifest that such demand is well grounded
on the ground of law and on the ground of fact, and that
on the ground of law no demand such title can
be made otherwise than by producing some portion at least of
law which has application to the case in hand
and that on no spot in the field of law other
than those to which some portion of really-existing law
called Statute Law or Written Law has application
can any such title be made good, and that wherever
such
to render it well grounded on the ground of law, it is necessary
that a an appropriate portion of law having application to the
case should have existence, and that in England in the
whole field of law it is only on here and then a spot
in the field of law that any such portion of law
is in existence and thereby capable of being grounded and
appealed to, and that in every other portion if to any
thing under the name of law appeal is made such appeal
invites in itself a wilful falshood asserting as it
does under the name of Common or Unwritten Law the existence of a species of law which is
a mere fiction having no
in truth has no existence,[+]
[+] as if any one should
say — there sits a dragon
or there sits a is the
Harpy making the law
to law which I appe has
been made by him it
he has not on any
occasion recommended
the making of any compleat body of real law, but has on
every occasion lent his countenance to the impostures
