§ 3. Anti-Reformation

Judicial Removal — its origin
Power of removal in
the egg means the form
of advice — Children in
Christ remove the stumbling
block of offence
p. 2

7
Love of power & of ease
contend incessantly in the
human breast — to consider
a case, attention is
necessary to which ease
must be sacrificed —
p. 3

8
In state of primeval
simplicity, judicature
constitutes a main
part of the business of
a monarch. As suits
multiply & the business
of government encreases
the suitors are passed off
to a corner of his hall &
a man appointed to hear
them instead of the King.
This the first commission
to a Judge
p. 3

9
With the operation of determining
was connected the
pleasure of power — with
that of having the pain of
labour: Of the power and
pleasure, the King kept
what he chose, & left the
refuse to his deputy.
p. 3

10
Men or stags
afforded
more pleasure hunted
on horseback, than such
judged upon cushions.
By degrees the superior
cares or pleasures expunged
so much of the monarch's
time, that the
who accidentally
had to do the business
of judicature, became
constantly wedded to
it. p. 4

§. 3. Anti-Reformation
Judicial removal — its origin

11
By the same causes
by which it was shifted
from the King to his
subordinates — so it was
from the Bishop to his
Chancellor.
p.4.</p>

12
Long after the trouble was shifted off
his hands, the will of the
superior was law, as often
as he chose to manifest it.
p. 4

13.
It must have soon after
been found that the
power of judicature was
capable of being made
productive of involvement
to the King and Bishop
had each his immediate
servant, so <hi rend="underline">they

had
their servants, whose
assistance equally as
scribes was necessary
and not to be had without
fees.

p. 4

14
By determining as
others have done; the pain
of thinking is saved, &
praise of impartiality
gained. By the habit
which those whose business
it is to attend
the course of judicature
asquire of expecting similar
decisions in similar
cases, the judge
is somewhat checked,
but (under common
law) much more
appears,, than exists.
Distinctions being
always at compound
and no fixt standard in existence
Judge must be awkward
and stupid
if one cannot be found
to accomplish whatever
may be his purpose.
p. 5.

§. 3. Anti-Reformation

15
Thus, under Judge-made
, under Statute
law. This the reason
why the real law is
slighted, & the sham
engrosses praise.
— This by the lawyers,
while the people judge
more from the their feelings
real or pretended,
of those whose interest
it is to deceive
them, than by their own.
p. 5

16.
If any question have
any thing new in it,
it is for want of skill
and not for want of
power if the decision
be not accordant to his
wishes. p. 6.

6 Mar. 1813. Quere
whether to insert 13. 14.
15. 16: by which Judge made
law is vituperated.
