of judicature are administered – is said to administer justice. But on
such an occasion it is never said that he administers probity, – nor does
the association of probity necessarily attach to the phrase.

Hence a great evil, – & a source of error – for if in the
exercise of his office he be most truly & manifestly chargeable with
improbity, – not the less will the language be employed that he
administers justice. The improbity will still be clothed in the garb
of justice. Himself & his friends will say he administers justice & it
will be a source matter of great difficulty & perplexity for those who think
ill of him to impugn the phraseology. Yet by no one will he be said
to administer probity scarcely by any one will it be said that he exercises probity. This is one of the thousand cases in which as
vague & undefined expressions become places of shelter for insincerity –
imprudence and and immorality.
