Brougham
I Imperfections
Fundamental principle
1. Partial Legislation

Under matchless
constitution no
alternative to members
of Hon House but to
do mischief or nothing

(1)
Severe would he be, who, in this case should cast
blame on the individual. Under matchless Constitution Such as we see, is the lot, such the
choice of he who with any considerable good in intention
and endeavour, venture to rise to find his life in Honourable Houses:
to do mischief or nothing. such is the alternative

Such was the fate of Mr Brougham's Motion for inquiry into the state
of the Charter. Taken entirely out of his hands put into a box
not a single hand of his chosen: put into no hands
but those of ministerial creature. Result he only immense
files
Volumes. in and Abundant repose in precaution
abundant: harvest to Attorney Generals and
Equity Harpers, riches.

This is is ex
vinculis sermonium

18.
Inseparability between
the several parts of
law the same as the
inseparability of
flesh & blood as per
Portia in the Merchant
of Venice

(3)... Of the connection between flesh and blood
Portia Portia in the Jew of Venice gave intimation: and for what purpose? To preserve
the body from being muddled with to the bad effect intended. The Of the equally inescapable connection taken
the normal parts of the body of the law the conspirators of the
against reform availed took advantage themselves and for what purpose?
to preserve it from being meddled with to any good
effect, if any were intended

They split the carcase; and made the use [vultures and] vultures harpies
meat of it: too happy the country, if of
any such operation performed upon it, destruction were the consequence. But
no: the immedicabile vulnus
has the property
outvies the elves
of Prometheus,
the more it is
fed upon, the more
there is of it.

2)
This it is ex vinculis sermoinere as Cicero somewhat phrases it: in plain english, to act perform in
a straight waistcoat. Such is the in which every
man must bedeck himself must be who presumes to make
his appearance any the seat of power: before Honourable House, before Right Honourable
House, or before Commissioners appointed by the King's Most
Excellent Majesty by "Privy Seal" or by any
other Seal of set of Deals briloges called Seals
liberty to say whatsoever is most agreeable: liberty, with proportionatereward in beatific
voices

proportionable reward
remuneration in beatific
voices, for whoever shall
have said what is most
agreeable: punishment
for any thing which
shall have been said other
than what is agreable: penalty death to lawyers and prospectors.
