Packing. Ch. 8. Exchequers Packing suffices

§§.4. Excheqr packing suffices

1.
Keeping down the
liberty of the press being
apeed excelsos a constant
object, now as to the
use of the packing office
for that purpose: on
this head what follows
is but repetition. p.1.

2.
1. Look to the Exchequer
packing office — House
of Call for Guinea man
Receiving House — parade
hunter Roll — Register
officer for characters
& connections: p1.

3
Has not B.R. its packers
Yes: But in Scaccar.
permanence which cod
not be packing
is confessed: secus in
B.R. In Scaccar means
of are much more
abundant: the
number of Special Jury
causes being so much
greater. p.1

3(a)
Between Excheqr & B.R.
impassible gulph incredible.
p2

4.
Tho' in cod be proved eql
in R.R. no packing ever
yet took place; this
wod be no reason agt
preventing it by the abolition
of the system: non-existing
today, it may
exist tomorrow: means
existing, demand will
at any time bring it
into existence. p.3

5.
Slight convenience
suffered to establish permanence
in Scaccar. Shall
not vengeance and
self-preservation suffice
in B.R.? p.3

6.
In B.R. by a packer of
that Ct the selection is
actually made. The
Crown Soller will he not
apply for the information
&c at yt packing office
to the BR packer or to
the other whichsoever
it be that is best qualified? p.3

§§.4. Excheqr packing suffices

7.
In Scaccar. per Edmunds
duty of Solter on each side
to learn each Juryman's
connections — viz: from eql
packer of that Ct To
the Crown Solter can it
be matter of duty not
to learn that. p.4.

8
What in Scaccar. is
avowed by the Chief (viz.
permanence in which
packing is included)
is it likely that in B.
R. it should be scrupled?
p.4

9.
Arguments by which
the chief may turn eql
propriety of it at any
rate to, & to the satisfaction
of, his own packer.
— Necessity of defeating
the conspiracy &c of
allaying the ferment &c
p.5.

10
Failing Ellenboro's evidence
Bowles is at his command
for this
p.3.

101
Result — When the Judge
is interested (prose aut
alii
) if the Jury (his
sole check) the choice is
at his command together
with a perfect knowledge
of their dispositions &c.
p 5

12
If so, Jurors are puppets:
Judge sole
Judge in his own cause.
p.6

12(a)
Indispensable that
Judge must be it in
his own cause for eql
purpose of enforcing
judicial orders — Hence
propriety of attachmt
for contempt.

Ld Mansfd failed in
his attempt to extend
them to Libels agt himself —

Ellenboro' with
Juries such as they are
in the Excheqr needs it now.
p.5.

Elements of P
§§.4. Excheqr packing
suffices

13
Under a Judicatory
thus constituted have
unexampled punishmts
been inflicted — viz — for
Libel on the King 2 yrs
for do on Judge 3 yrs
with et ceteraas p

In the most recent
case perseverance is
announced. p.7.

13(a)
Libels on the King is
mischievous & needless:
Abuses may all be
corrected without it:
he is irremovable.
Libel a Judge is
useful needful and
innoxious. A Judge
may be removed by
either House: Canvassing
his conduct applies to
him the only efficient
and non-obsolete check
it is susceptible of.
p.7.

14.
The punishment
known to the be this
destructive will even
a Special Jury contribute
by means of it
to destroy English liberties?
From obsequiousness
in ordinary
cases it follows not
in this. p.8

15.
Answer — No depravity
necessary nothing
but that men are
wont to be ashamed of.

Probanda to satisfy
men of this
1. With fresh libel law
— & that about to be
enforced — liberty
even de facto is incompatible
p.8.

16
2. Under the new established
mode of direction
a Jury not hostile, can
not avoid convicting.
p.9

17
3. By the magnitude
(apprehended or even
tho' foreknown ) of the
punishment the verdict
cannot with
propriety be influenced.
For proof — see next
Chapter. p 9
