Penal CodeCh. Homicide
Such So intimate was the connection between justice and homicide
when thus deliberately and solemnly committed, so much
superior on the scale of probative force this sort of supernatural
to the best and most conducive evidence, that if without
question or quibble law had been were to be left to take its course
the title to the crown would in every coronation
dinner be to be fought for with every pretender who
could engage a champion to appear for him on his behalf for that
purpose. At a much less expence of blood and treason
than what was lavished in the several years 1715 and
1745, the princes of the Stuart dynasty might have
received the judgment of God upon their claim to the throne
of the British Isles. Against this Factor Aº 17, they might have 1714
been in 1727, the judgment of God might have been
for them in 1727, 1760, or 1820.
But faith the requisite and necessary faith – in English
Judge made law was wanting. From the champion of England
the Guelphe dynasty title was to be apprehended from a
champion of their appeal the dynasty, of tolerably well chosen
but from the hand of the executive the was considerably
more serious. To accomplish a judicial – be
it what it may all that an English Judge is in need of – is
the knowing what it is.
