1828. Novr.
Petition for Justice.

But for the performance of any operation performed
by it — for the production of any effect produced by it the law
has no or to speak more simply and precisely a legislator
has no other means of action, than the creation
and estimation of rights and obligations for who to then
is that right is this or that obligation [execution and] effect
it is still by the creation or excluding of some other right
or rights, some other obligation or obligations.

How this comes to pass, it shall now be my
endeavour to make known to you.

By the word justice when applied to civil matters
when employed in on the occasion of a civil case called a civil case is
understood the rendering to a man what is understood
to be his own in relation to one or other of the
objects of general desire, as abovementioned.

By the sacred word justice as applied to present
matters, as employed on the occasion of a case called
a penal case is understood the making application of
the matter of punishment in such sor way in which it
may be in the highest degree conducive to the attainment
of the end sought by it — that is to say the repression
of the sort of wrong whatever it be for the repression of which with
the evil attendant on it, evil in this on a larger shape is created on
a smaller scale created and applied even as a surgeon for the cure of a sin
with which a patient is afflicted under which a patient labours and which otherwise would
be of long continuance finds himself in some
cases necessitated to produce for a shorter time, by the
application of an to this same patient a second
still more severe than that under which the patient was it found the patient labouring
found labouring.
