1827 Feb. 27
Constitutional CodeCh. IX. Ministers Severally
§. 17 Located how
Supplement

Oh yes: as to the contempt, suffering it in this way at the hands of Judges
is every day practice. By connivance at such contempt
the King's creatures in the by his creatures in the shape situation
of Judges, does what, he can a mixture of inconvenience shame and fear would
prevent the doing of by the hands of his creatures in the situation shape of Members
of Parliament.

In Thus far, To foreign nations, in what proportion the a booty thus taken is divided between the Monarch
and and a certain class of his subjects might therefore seem matter
of compleat indifference: what puts and keeps their power
in a perpetual state of jeopardy is this. Laying hold of the
above mentioned destruction, what article prizes taken before of of
, the Judge suffering the Act of Parliament to have its
occurrence over-rules it only as to such only as to
explain for antecedently taken: the Act of Parliament being
thus far put out of the way, remains the Order of Council
which it had abolished, and gives the matter in
question to the Monarch, who disposes of it as he pleases.

This being the case it is by those words "before declaration of war" that the peace of
the world is kept as well as if the including that of the
British empire itself is kept in a continual state of insecurity.
For here is a constant premium given to the Monarch,
him to have
on condition of his making war without previous declaration:
making war not will after declaration he will get nothing
but some comparatively small to his own use making war
without declaration he will get a very vast multiple of to an amount of which the
it, amounting to one million to the 17 million just mentioned 17 millions are an example.
the Thus the double Ordinances of the Judge, by which abrogating in part the Act
of Parliament makes an enactment offering this
bounty for war abrogates on condition of its being commenced
in a year in direct repugnance to the acknowledged rule of international laws.

without In this consists
the difference. In other
cases what is given to
the King is not at his
disposal without
knowledge knowledge andconsent
of Parliament, nor therefore
without being known
to the nation at large.
But the 17 millions
in question, being having by
the Judge in question
been given to the King
declaredly in his quality of
Lord High Admiral
became his property
to do with as he pleased
much more so than
even his Civil Act even the matter of his
so called Civil Act.
