pursuing on a former occasion and which it seems to me
you did not disapprove, I shall on this occasion as on
that regard silence as meant to save time and
perform the function of an answer, Meantime,
I am with all respect
Sir
Yours

Right Hon. Robert Peel
&c &c &c

A case which cannot but present itself to my
view as capable of realization is that of its being your wish to
abolish packing, and that of your advisers or some of them
to establish it: if, instead of establishing it, there be anyone
of them whose wish it is to abolish it, you will see that
in this case relative intellectual is not, in this case, a necessary accompaniment
to relative moral aptitude, not even to
official situation. Of the individual character of your
principal adviser, I have no knowledge whatsoever:
supposing that packing is an improper practice, my
pointing your attention to him, on this occasion, cannot
with any propriety be considered as meant to convey an
imputation on the individual or be designated by any
such appellation as calemmy. It is to the situation
alone that I look on this occasion. I have for more
than 60 years been in the habit of observing the
conduct of Judges. I have been in convivial habits
with some of those who were on the popular
side. I never met with any one whose manifest desire
it was not to give to his power every possible extent:
and for so doing the practice of packing is so
efficient an instrument that a more efficient is
hardly to be found.
