were on any occasion proposed done by them: his interest and his pleasure were the sole objects
of reference. Their appointment had two objects – the keeping in
subjection to his will and subordinate ones: this was the main principal
and: the settling disputes between individual and individual,
this was the less considerable and the end of inferior importance,
the footings which on this occasion constituted the
motives were not theirs but his: if they were to
