Constitutional Code
In a every country which has in it either a Monarch or a
permanent aristocracy or both a union of both the law is a
bad thing and never can fail of being so: it is at
all times as bad as they can respectively contrive to make it.
But in the present instance the law is a good not a bad thing:
at any rate the endeavour to keep it from being so has been
as strenuous as possible: in the body of law framed in this
endeavour a Jury would therefore be a nuisance.
But a Jury in the English stile having containing
in its features composition some beneficent feature inserted into it partly
by a design that his place no longer partly by accident
the endeavour here pursued has been to preserve its beneficent
features of it to discard the its maleficent features of it, and to add
to the result of that operation to add such new features as
promised to be conducive to the proper ends of judicature, to the
ends supposed to be pursued by it, to the ends to which it has
been commonly supposed to be directed.
