1823. Septr. 10.

Constitutional Code

9. In a thus composed
fraction of a Judicatory,
power absolute over the
issue of a suit in cases
vast in extent, first in
importance. Example –
Penal suits to such extent
that the remainder are
comparatively insignificant.
By pardon, direct
or virtual, conviction
may be frustrated; acquittal,
not.
By this example, others
are

Hands, what? in which
exposure to corruption
is maximized, power
of giving effect to it, in
each one, irresistible,

arrival and his entry
on service. Suitor may
have full disposition to
apply the dose: Juror, to
swallow and earn it.
But time for finding one
another out, is wanting.
Of brokerage for this purpose,
no system as yet
known to have been established.
But no obstacle
to it's establishment
is visible. Multitude &
condition in life, of men
engaged in smuggling considered:
also, in parliamentary corruption,
singular this contraband
in this shape should be
unknown.
