1826 Sept. 2
J.B. to Peel on Humphreys Letter III

☞ See a passage in J.B. on Peel.

Sir

I have to acknowledge the honor done to me by
your letter of Saty the 2d instant with the three Bills inclosed.
It can not but be manifest to you how much more graceful congenial
it is to
it is to my feelings to express approbation then disapprobation
and too ask how much greater delight the expression of the
like feelings could would afford me could I take for the subject
of it an official a functionary who has so much of the fate
of the country in his hands. Unfortunately this is altogether out of
my power. The interest of universal interest and the particular
interest of the lawyer tribe are absolutely irreconcilable. I took in Take a comprehensive survey of what you have done
and of what your intentions of doing are declared it seems
to me that supposing the people of the country to acquiesce
in it, and not to call for any thing more more the evil to
beyond will be produced by such acquiescence
will be in a prodigious degree the utmost good you
appear to me to have as yet had in contemplation. The persuasion in
what I feel myself under the unhappy necessity of endeavouring
to demonstrate lay before the public. The cup is to me a purely
bitter one: but that sense of duty that principle to which has guided my whole
my whole life has been governed forbids my putting it from me.
The manner tone of my pamphlet in which I speak of your Magistrates Salary
Bill are much .

I make this list should it happen to you to cast
a glance on or hear spoken of what I shall have to publish, it should appear to
you that, of no without were given of my intention
it should appear to you that you had reason I should appear to have given you reason to complain of
me
I had published what subject in view are scored
list of second list what I should find myself under the necessity of making public
should appear
point itself as the result of a subsuit of present
hostility which nothing, can be more foreign to my .

I should have more to reproach myself with than I choose
to have, were I to suffer the time which by appears most conducive to
the public purse to be varied by any civilities which I have received,
or which it may be my fortune to receive.
