J.B. to Herald on Peel and Bentham

What if, in the Right Honourable Secretary's own instance,
the same happy union of unfitness and fitness and unfitness
should, in course of time, come to have been discovered?
In addition To the existing £6,000 (is it not,)good would agree that £2,000 would
upon his principle require to be added.⊞ ⊞ As to the fitness part
of the qualification requisite
in making addition to
this part there might
be found some difficulty.
Not so as to the unfitness
part: for assuredly in
the finding a person still
more unfit than Mr Peel
there would no difficulty at
all could have place: if
there were any, a
would remind it at once. But what would save trouble, if precedent
were pursed, the trust of regulating the quantum would
be committed to the Right Honorable Gentleman himself. The
precedent is already made: what remains is but to follow
it. Under the auspice of himself and Lord Eldon was
brought on the Bill, and passed into an to Act, by which on condition
of substituting the word gift to the word sale, the Judges
trust of providing rem regulating the remuneration for this that one
service was stands committed⊞ ⊞ (as its Practice, as his Indication respecting Lord Eldon has shown at large) to the most learned of all
trustees . If either gratitude be held trusting the learned Judges themselves the head of them all – the Lord Chancellor If thus
included. If then either consistency or gratitude
in him any place in them made Lord Eldon
so preeminently incorruptible as well as
though for form sake the Bill for this purpose would have
to originate in the Lower House, neither Lord Eldon nor Lord Tenterden, not to speak of the present Lord High Chancellor, could
declare yielding auspices, and of course giving giving support, and of course the never failing
from the binding form with the efficiently injured
and never-failing "vortex" to it.

In article Mr Peel what is, and By a word, here is a precedent: and with such a precedent
and that a Statutable one: not merely a Judge made but a Legislative made one: and nor that
an old and obsolete
one. With this lesson
one. At the same time
there for forms sake
sit a number of Honorable
Gentlemen calling
themselves a Finance
Committee and giving
themselves a world
of trouble.
whee he is, I should be thankful for anyone who will tell
m what the use is of a Committee of Finance and why so
much about a of four Noble Lords and Right Honorable
Gentlemen given their benefit which of such
a world of trouble? all this trouble. In the reign of Henry the eighth, of
religious and blessed memory, Parliament saved to itself
this and a world of other trouble by so simple an expedient
as that of improving his Majesty to do at by a more easily finished agreement called
a proclamation which had been used to be done by the clumsily wording instrument called
an Act of Parliament. Why not copy this instrument at once, with no other considerant than that of substituting the name of his most gratious⊞
⊞ Majesty and so forth
the name of the most
munificent as well as thought
Honorable ?
