16 Ap 1809
Press. Ch. Peculation

1.
Probity of Libel law
management

In R v Cobbett
Crown Counsel 6, whereof
Sinecures undisguised — 4
do disguised — 1
5
p 1

2.
The disguised conformable
to universal practice — p.1.

The four undisguised
alone particular to this
case. p.1

3.
Waste in this degree
supposed common to Crown
cases, particularly libel
cases. p1.

4.
The waste here particularly
pretenceless —
1. No argument.
2. No evidence to the
extraction of which
the old woman who
takes fees for admission
into the public
Court would norl
not be equally competent.
p.1

5.
Thus (by repetition)
an established four
law sinecure offices.
p 2

6
In the 25 prosecutions
against the republishers
of Hogan's libel, this
makes a 1,000 Guis
wasted. p.2

Wonder by some
that in D. of York's case
only two honest lawyers
(one alone eminent)
were found. Under
such corruption should have
been that any one was.

Of these are Judges
made.

8
Compared this multitude
of counsel
paid with public
money for doing nothing,
with the refusal to
hear a party in his
own cause if but
one has spoken for him. p.3

---page break---

9.
While in a libel
case deft can expect
nothing from Counsel
but to be defended
as Pettier, Cobbett &
J. Johnson were
No defence but the
contestation of
true fact.

When Were Deft with
Act of 1792 in his hand
to begin to say — I
have violated no law
for there is none to
violate, he wod be
silenced at the first
word. p. 3

10
"No man shall be
condemned unheard"
use of the rule not
to secure justice but
fees. p.4

11
This peculation is
the stopt where high
situations have an
interest in stopping it
In Lords, 3 — the 3 only
are bound to attendance
is here
checked by the love of law.

Two Counsel only if
a side. p.4

12
These causes too distinguished
by intricacy
& importance. p.4

13
By such authority the
peculation displayed
by 2/3 or 5/6 would
struck
dumb. p.4

14.
Account to be called
for by some Wardle
Account of money thus
wasted in Counsel, not
forgetting the fess which
directly or indirectly
and with or without
the intervention of a
Judge are pocketed
by ql Judge. p.5
