Elements of Packing Ch. 6. Purposes

§§3. Judges actual do

1
Force of sinister interest
to which a Judge
actually stands exposed
is greater in England
than elsewhere.
p1

2
By mode of payment
and training his interests
and prejudices are directly
opposite to the end
of justice (naming them)
As suitor is tormented
so is Judge comforted
p1

3
His interest is connected
with that of every delinquent:
from every
wrong he derives a profit
p2

4
Through every imaginable
channel (naming
them) the matter of
corruption flows into
his pocket. p.2

5
In no other country
so much corruption
in judicature as here,
in every shape, but
punishable bribery:
elsewhere, casual;
here constant and universal.
p2

6
Sinecure fees, especially
judicial, are money
extorted on false pretences
Extortion and obtainment
on false pretences, punished
in others are by
Judges connived at and
practiced for their own
benefit. p3

7
Mendacity, the common
instrument of wrong,
was among the foundations
of their power:
and continues to be
by them practiced permitted,
encouraged
forced.

Under the name
of fiction represented
as necessary to justice
p3

8
J's falsehood not a
vice? or do Judges
convert vice into virtue?
p 3

§§3. Judges actual do

9
If mendacity be a
vice, the seat of the
Custos morurn is the
seat of Vice

Queen of the Bawds
Chief Guardian of female
chastity. p.4

10
Fiction, a species of
nonsense, serves for
depravation of intellect
as well as morals
p4

11
In none of these
paths of depravity
does foreign judicature
come up to
English: lying le fond
de la justice Angloise.

In Scotch, and other
Rome bred law, fiction
a wort on the face
of Justice: in English,
a pox in her bones.
p4

12
Admitted that the
sinister profit is
made mostly by devices
to the success of which
no concurrence is
needed on the part
of the Juries: mostly
but not exclusively.
p 5

13
— also that by Judges,
existing undue profits
as above are more
easily preserved than
created. And in many
instances they grow
of themselves without
need of fresh or continued
care: does this afford
any ground for that
unreserved confidence
which is placed in Judges
by those who wish
to see them uncontrouled
by Jurors. p 5

14
Result Unless in an English
Judge mans nature
be opposite to what
it is everywhere else,
everything rather than
nothing ought at all
times to be apprehended
from him.
p 5
