What if this personage or some close intimate connection of his should be a party to the suit? The same cause therefore, which
serves to guard the probity of the Judge against
the seduction of private influence, impos lays

What has the Juryman to hope for or
to fear from the great public? It can neither
afford him protection nor against the ill will unjust
censure of others individuals nor make him a sufferer
by its own. If the justices of the public those whose probity depends upon
their subjection to public opinion are placed out of
the reach of that tutelary power public opinion what matters it how long
what excuses? What matters is whether it is because
they are stand above it or below it?
