1820. Sept. 15

Antecedently to the formation of a system of procedure having
really for its ends the six ends of justice, the remedy if any to be capable of being applied
that with any tolerable advantage or chance of advantage the
remedy must be a thing of extreme simplicity. I
Of this description there is but the one remedy: namely
publicity of judicature: compleat publicity. The judicatories
open at all times on all occasions to all persons: free liberty
even to all printed comments in printed publications.

This is what may be done without any variation in
the form: and this in great recommendation of it.

So many Judges as oppose this, so many many self
acknowledged criminals. For wherefore is it that they will
not part with darkness unless it be because their deeds are
evil?

Unless the procedure be public, if it be justice that is
done, how are the people to know that it is? if it be injustice
that is one, how are the people to know that it is. These
Judges who ever they are, are they men? Who made men as
infallible? who made men impeccable? who made men
impe infallible?
