Mark now the considerations which in the mind
of the Fundator incipiens (to judge from all appearances)
gave birth to the financial part of the measure: mark
well the order in which they appear to have presented
themselves. Matter of the existing grievance, the enormous
multitude of the existing official situations
and thence the enormous bulk of the aggregate
mass of emolument flowing from them. These sources
of emolument being determined to be extinguished,
and with them the emolument itself, now comes
a problem to this effect:– what is the maximum
of the mass of emolument which consistently
with the rules of prudence can on the most
plausible grounds that can be found be established
in lieu of it. such being the question,
for answer to it, presented themselves the several
names of Offices now existing on this part of the
field of judicature "So many of there are of us"
said they "so many pegs you will see on which
under the new arrangements a number more or less
considerable of new offices – one, two, and so on,
as far as eight – may be hung; with salaries
raised each of them to the greatest height which
there can be any reasonable hope that the public will
endure the weight of: and whereas in the case of
the existing system, of the hats hung upon the
pegs the number is so great and the aggregate of the
expense consequently so great, – hence it is that under
the new system to the several pegs with the comparatively
small number of hats hanging on them may, without
scandal be attached (it is hoped) a mass of emolument
much greater than any which under the existing system
has been attached to any one of the situations
