March 1809 2
Press. Ch. 7. Pretences for omitting False

§§.2 Impeachment

14.
The mere want of
Lords time sufficient
to render impeachment
an inadequate check
on delinquency in high
situations: even though
the judicatory were
not rendered an ineligible
one by the multitude
of its members
(as eql Commons by
the Grenville Act confessed
itself to be) not
to speak of exposure
to influence. p.6

15.
Admitted that where
an decision by Commons
prosecution had taken
place, impunity is
not total. p.8.

16
But in Each of many
individual cases the
utmost suffering thus
incurrible being inferior
to the profit
of the offence, the
result is pro tanto
reward for the delinquency
instead of
punishment. p.9

17.
And taking the whole
mass of probable delinquency
together
the impunity thus
secured to a great part
of it by mere want of
judicial time is
matter of demonstration.
p.9.

18
Under the sense
of this impossibility
of doing justice an
acknowledged delinquency
is suffered to
go unmolested. p.7

§§.2 Impeachment

19.
Conclusion — Impeachment
an Encouragement
to delinquency
in the aggregate —
under the false
notion of applying
to it the punishment
of eql legal sanction
furnishing a pretence
from withdrawing it
from the check of
the moral. p.7.

20.
Admission — That at
that time the inefficacy
of Impeachment
as a check to delinquency
was not so palpable
as now.

It was however too
palpable to have escaped
Ld Mansfd —
a fortiori his successors
in the war. p.8.
