"The question ought not to be argued as if the Indians
had a great respect for the jargon of our laws, which we ourselves
did not understand." – Mr Peel's Speech, March 8, from
Morn. Chron. March 9.

Sir

In the account given of the debates of
Honble on the 9th instant in the Morning Chronicle
of the next day 10th I have read these words. "Mr Secretary
Peel ... He has given notice of his intention to bring
a Bill to put an end to the fees taken by the Officers
of the Courts and when that Bill passed, they should then
be able to apply themselves to a remedy for all the defects
or practice which at present formed so just a ground of
complaint.

Reading these things words I rub my eyes and say to
myself – Is not this a dream? ... O What is this I see?
Seen of His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State become a Reformer
a Law Reformist in old men put off– nor take part in.

career that leads
to the of justice.
What are to men

in which you
have none set your
foot have glorious
truly glorious?
Vera gloria radices
agit, atque propagatur. Let
us not – those who think with me – and the number
is every day on the encrease – let us not henceforward have the
mortification of ever seeing you stationary .. much less
retrograde.

Opinions (such as those in Blackstone's Commentaries)

or at least used to say, the at Caerfax.

82 years ago
being A.M. I gave
my Vote for the

out the same
