1823 Sept. 6
Constitut.

Now as As to its effects under the established system, they
be they what they may, they are not have not been any of them are none of them the result of design, and taken altogether
being a mixture of good and evil and indiffeent in unascertainable proportions
they will be found to amount to but little small will the amount of them be found.

The only determinate and incontestable ponderable effect is –
the concealing from all eyes without doors the keeping from
the eye of the Public Opinion Tribunal, this small section of it
excepted the perception of the relative inaptitude in all shapes
on the part of this portion of the compound divided Judicatory. Of this concealment
the one effect is – that by the half of power of
imagination under the guidance of favorable prejudice as general
conception is – that whichever how absurd so was the verdict, it had
some reason for its support. Of his habitually favorable
estimate the effect may be regarded as being with reference
to each part such taken individually a beneficial one on the occasion of a groundless verdict: power whatsoever
only dissatisfaction might otherwise have had place, is
by this means lessened. But if the future be taken not
the tendency forof it is the effect is – to cause
a system of judicature essentially irremediably repugnant to the mode of jud

But if the system of which it is the essential part is so it be that the character of this fraction of a of judicatory is irremediably irreconciliably
repugnant unfavorable to the ends of justice, serviceable beneficial to the
community as it will be seen to be to the main end of justice only by reason of its
repugnancy to the main one of them end of justice, that is to say by its
inaptitude for giving execution and effect to the certain
parts of the substantive branch of law, if this be supposed allowed
the evil effect which it thus has upon the largest scale, will thus
be acknowledged to be by a vast amount one overmatch for
the aggregate of those individual good effects. and that Now such with
character will be seen other
is its inaptitude will presently
be made apparent. See below.
