be expected those qualifications which are preferred
and sought for in the choice of judges, and
that knowledge and readiness which result from
experience in the office. But then, as the Judge
is known before hand, he is accessible to the parties
[not so accessible as the Jurymen have
all of them been in a cause of a popular nature
that has been the talk of the country before
trial; & nor in any degree accessible, under
the obligation imposed upon him by any oath of making public all attempts
to make use of extrajudicial sollicitation] there

gives to appeals any such mal-practice would
be to no purpose could have no no tolerable prospect
of success:] or in contests between the crown and
the subject, the Judge appointed by the crown
may be suspected of partiality towards his patron:
[and with too much reason especially as the author
of preferment already existing is the source
from whence further favors may be hoped for:
but the dependency against all danger of this kind of any Judge on the people is
an effectual preservative:] or of entertaining inclinations favourable
