§.1 Imperfections
II. Fee gathering
Brougham Silence
his silence as the
Law Maker abuse

When law taxation
power given to
Judges Brougham
silent

(1)

Power given to the Judges to tax impose taxes onto men in the
character of suitors, taxes without , the taxes putting
the cloak of the many serve this over probity: provided always that the persons class
on whom the taxes are imposed are the most distressed among
mankind, and that of every penny of the tax the effect shall
be the the power of oppression in the hand of the
oppressor. At the time the most of offe was
committed that ever were committed by a gang of ruthless
rulers against an injured people, where was Mr Brougham?
what said he against its' In the speech of
120 closely printed pages in which abuse in all its forms

taken to have given it up of his own accord. Could the people
could they by any means whatsoever, could they on any occasion
whatsoever be persuaded to excuse from manifesting a complexion upon
which a called for him for some purpose of
depredation or oppression — what word should be the standard on the occasion
be employed would be a matter of more consideration: addressing
Members, to House of Noble Lords and their tools
and creatures Honourable Gentlemen, "Yes you have forfeited they
might say or You have abdicated
