since his (elevation) his his location in office the most efficient and prominent enemy the three by whose Kingdom
hostility the British empire was ever afflicted? whose whole official life was without a
single exception employed in the minimization of good, and in the maximization
of evil upon the largest scale? Who in respect of the most prominent of his
functions – the function to which all others attached to the office constitute all of
them together no more than an appendage – was in England (for in Ireland there
has been a fellow to it) an altogether unexampled instance – was at any rate, even

In regard to security for property against depredation and oppression at the hands
of Lawyers, in addition to a complete set of Codes embracing the adjective branch of
Law, 2.d th Procedure branch as well as the substantive branch – what the country stands in need of is
an entire new Judicial Establishment. Of that which an indispensible part and leading feature
is an all comprehensive system of local judicatorial: judicatories which to be adequate to of which taken singly

sinecures or worse than sinecures in the shape of Bishopricks and Archdeaconries for
thex Churches – the expense of which if the Salvation of Souls be an expense-worthy
object can never be too great: for in these massive solid demonstrations of religious
truth probative force is as expensiveness.

2. Next, and not till next ensues comes the demand for Palaces – not till next
incontrovertibly: Witness Church and King: Bible and Crown
