Greece. J.B. to Senate Letter III

A circumstance which in no inconsiderable degree has contributed considerably
to the retardation is the necessary and most intimate connection which
has place between the Code of Judicial Procedure and
that part of the Constitutional Code which regards the
Judiciary branch of the Official Establishment. In
the first that same Procedure Code I have already made
considerable progress. In it my endeavour has been
to apply upon a national scale, as far as circumstances allow those simple principles
course of principles by which the conduct of a kind and even father
is guided judgment in in the judgments exercised by him in the conduct of his children.

It will If finished If I have to finish it, it will be the
first Code of Procedure that ever had the ends of justice
for its sole or so much as its main object: all others having had, for their main
object, the advancement of the sinister interest of its members — the ruling functionaries, more especially
those of the judiciary class, and those their professional
associates from whom they spring: and to this cause
may be attributed all that harshness and obscurity, and
unnecessary complicatedness and expensiveness,
by which all the Procedure Codes as yet in existence
are more or less strongly marked.

Another paper, which I now add is in designed
to serve as a substitute to a short section in the the
former if I may so call it, the subject of the of my Code: it is that
which regards the realizability of the Members of a Legislative Assembly
composed composed of Deputies of the people. The object of it is
to supply, for that most important of trusts, a constant stock of competitors, for that trust
composed of tried men, whose degrees of aptitude
comparative have been manifested by experience, instead
of placing things, as usual is customary upon such a footing, that, whether
the first claim to fortunate or ever so unfortunate the people find themselves
notwithstanding
notwithstanding the forms
of election, under a
sort of necessity to
continue it [+]
and this without
the life of any part of that the advantage from which is looked for in the continually increasing experience and wisdom of those who have distinguished themselves
among their colleagues.
This I flatter myself with having secured, and at the same time without depriving the people of any part of that advantage.
