1823 Sept. 13
Constitutional Code

11. In the Jury system, comes on this occasion the right of
challenging: the right of which in at the character of a preventive remedy
against misdecision the inadequacy has been seen.

Evils resulting from it are – to the suitors from challenges applied to individual Jurymen, in case of
contestation as to the right, expence, vexation, and eventual delay:
from challenges applied to the whole body, the like evils
with the addition of certain delay of half a years length as a minimum by
remittance of the suit to the next Assizes.

In the Quasi Jury system, as above observed, no need
of any such dislocation: no location subject to any such certainty
efficient cause of that inaptitude which stands opposed
to appropriate moral aptitude.

12. In the Jury system vexation to Juror by the affliction
forced perjury and the torture by which it is produced.
In the moral men the vexation from the contemplation of the per
breach of promise and the injustice which may be the
consequence of it will be intense, in proportion to his love
of justice: in the pious man, if his piety be anything more
than a pretence, in proportion to his fear of God.

In the Quasi Jury system, as above observed shown,
no such vexation has place.
