1823. Septr. 9. Constitutional Code Ch. Quasi Jury
Explany. Observations
II. Discarded features
6. Number
7. Secrecy.

95.

Too indeterminate
all other effects of this
secrecy to be regard-
worthy. Unknowable
are the influences by
which their decision
have, in each instance,
been determined.

Unknowable, whether
there have been any
deliberations.

96.

1. Tutelary influence
a man is here exposed
to one only: viz. of the
Public Opinion Tribunal —
the small section
composed of his
chosen colleagues,
with the possible circle
without doors, of which
each may be a.

97.

2. Seductive influences
these.
1. Private connections, by self-
regarding and sympathetic
interest, indefinitely abundant.

2. Sinister interest derived
from Monarch's &
aristocrat's corruptive
and delusive interest
influences much
more abundant.

Of one on whom any
such sinister interest
has gained, & is
thence determined to
carry the verdict, silence
answers the purpose
best, unless he chooses
to shorten the business
by fallacies or
other delusions.

98.

Victory being assured
to the stronger will,
application of understanding
to understanding
affords little promise
of being either useful
or employed.

Relevant seasons are
not likely to have been
left employed by
Advocates & Judge.

Nothing so likely as
some short and trite
fallacy for a cloak to
the course a man is
determined to pursue.
It being known that
the understanding
will not be the arbiter,
adequate inducement
to the trouble
of making application
to it is wanting.

99.

Instruments of a contest
between will
and will, pain and
pleasure: here, pain only.

Ultimate resistance
to it being unprecedented,
how can a man
apply to any other?

No precedent of the endurance
of this paid
for two days. Such is it
that, to save themselves
from its cannibalism,
is a common practice.

100.

Such is the situation
in which all legislators
and judges
have been content to
place men in such
numbers.

101.

Victory to the most
vigorous will, by what
soever sinister interest
rendered so, or
the least sensitive
stomach.

102.

The less the hope that
reason shall decide,
the less the chance
that a man shall
here set his
and
to discover the reasons
that have escaped
the advocate in his
suit.
