You ask me about Juries. It is with reluctance that
I answer you. For, were they constructed in the best manner
possible, the usefulness of them would depend upon the Judicial
Establishment in whose hands they were, and the system of
procedure in of which they were formed an instrument. And neither
that Establishment nor that procedure are given quantities.
Were I, therefore, to indicate to you, were I even to give you the
best set of Juries possible, I might still do you more harm
than good: meaning to give you a security against oppression,
I might give you but a cloak for oppression, and that cloak
an instrument of it.
